I actually have a comment on this! I order fast food all the time in the UK (less so recently but that's a different story), and I haven't had a wrong order for literally several years! My wife is working in the US atm, and gets wrong orders from fast food regularly. We order stuff pretty much the same way, but it's very clear that there's some kind of operational difference in the US that's leading to a much, much higher error rate, including her being given entirely the wrong order occasionally. I think somehow the US doing more takeout and less delivery, particularly via drive-thrus factors into this.

But I might be absolutely talking nonsense.

It's called people don't care, the jobs are just temporary until they get something else, or like the manager has an in with a probation officer or something.

I don't think that's it, because that's also true in the UK.

Anecdotal. I order fast food in the UK and I've had a few wrong orders over the past few years, ranging from missing / substituted items up to an entirely different meal.

I witnessed a friend's interaction with Gemini last night, and I was floored.

He had a simple question about fashion. In Gemini's response it included a bit about how it's wrong to objectify women, which really had nothing to do with what he was asking about. But he then went on for another five minutes with the app trying to justify what he was asking and how he wasn't using that information to objectify women.

It's not a real person, you can just close the app.

Ask me how I know.
