Comment on McDonald's will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for nowparent

It becomes super valuable when the error rate is lower than humans though. I think this will be the main driver for applications like this.

Yeah, but from what I can tell, there are some fundamental issues to be solved before we get an error rate anything like that with Generative AI.

I agree but would like to share an anecdote. There are some orders that I've found nearly impossible for humans to get right until I prompt engineered them.

"Two double quarter pounders with cheese" will either be two quarter pounders with cheese, or one double quarter pounder with cheese. With humans I have to order "a double quarter pounder with cheese", wait for them to enter it, then "another double quarter pounder with cheese".
