Eventually ‘The Terminator‘ timeline is going to happen when AI (Skynet) becomes self-aware and brings down the whole s#$T show we’re living in – and maybe that’s not a bad thing, considering where we are now.
But in the meantime, if you want to fire a pre-emptive shot across the bow of artificial intelligence, start at the fast food drive thru using humanity’s weapon-of-choice… stupidity.
And we are well-stocked with that ammo.
A guy is going viral on TikTok for their “life hack” to get a REAL person instead of A.I. to take your order in a Taco Bell drive thru and it’s very simple, they just asked for “1,000 waters.” Which apparently flagged the order and triggered an actual human response.
The automated system said, “Let me get a team member to help you.” Then, an actual human worker said, “Let me know when you’re ready” . . . and the guy went ahead and ordered a normal drink.
Could the guy just said “get me a human being”? Maybe. But it might be like being on hold with an automated customer service responder when you just keep yelling “REPRESENATIVE!” or “HUMAN BEING!” into the phone with little or no response.
One good thing about drive thru AI (a.k.a. orderbot 1000) they won’t spit in your drink when you’re rude to them… at least not yet.
