If an LLM can’t be trusted with a fast food order, I can’t imagine what it is reliable enough for. I really was expecting this was the easy use case for the things.

It sounds like most orders still worked, so I guess we’ll see if other chains come to the same conclusion.

        Step 1: Replace your executive and board members with LLMs. Despite LLMs being increadibly unintelligent, there will be no loss of leadership IQ in the corporation because they were already unintelligent enough to put a LLM where it doesn’t belong because they don’t understand what it is and what it isn’t.

        Step 2: Enjoy the savings of those large useless eater salaries you no longer have to pay.

      They don’t even reduce cost from the savings. They charge the exact same amount until they want to increase prices.
