    Really the only cost here is the impact to consumer attitudes towards taco bell and AI because the video and news of this is circulating. One error is whatever, but public perception doesn’t typically involve much critical thinking.

    People are still irrationally terrified of all manner of technology even though science backs it up, like vaccines.

      What do you mean science backs it up? Science is finding massive social problems with technology all the time. Social media and its negative impacts on mental health (especially for teen and preteen girls), for example. Microplastics everywhere, for another. Climate change anyone?

        I just don’t agree man. It won’t do what most people want it to do, it doesn’t at all work like some kind of science fiction “AI” that we classically think of. It’s great at organizing patterns and helping create models to do a specific use case, but when you try to do some real convoluted multilevel thing it just doesn’t.

        We’ve been using ML for a ton of tools in tech for a long time. Crowdstrike, Darktrace and Abnormal are all very successful in the realm of what they do thanks to ML (aka “AI”.)

        OCR has been used for so long and has gotten really fucking good, thanks to ML.

        I don’t think we’re gonna replace humans for thinking, but we can definitely replace them for boring repetitive actions.
