  • McDonalds in 2023 tried using AI in their drive thru. It lasted all of 3 weeks before McDonalds realized their business went down 70%. People were trying to order “BIG MAC” and the AI would add 33 apple pies.

    Then they would get frustrated, and drive off without paying or getting anything.

    I’ve seen other similar stories from other companies. Maybe not to the same degree. But the theme of the day is CEOs pay billions to integrate AI. Then find out that best case scenario is it works slightly worse than humans. Worst case is it crumbles their business. But at no point have I ever read a story where CEOs gain big advantages from investing in AI. But now they already paid the money, so dammit they’re going to use it!

    And thats where we are today. Join us 5 years from now when Verizon replaces their entire crew with AI, and becomes just a keyosk in the mall with a touch screen.
