Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters
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.

Yemeni drone successfully hits Ramon Airport in southern Palestine
A Yemeni drone successfully breached occupied Palestinian airspace, penetrated Israeli air defenses, and struck its target in Ramon Airport in occupied al-Naqab, southern occupied Palestine, on Sunday.
Footage circulated on social media platforms showed the explosion of the Yemeni aircraft and smoke rising from the site in the aftermath.
Israeli media then confirmed that the drone, which was the fourth launched from Yemen today, hit a passenger terminal at Ramon Airport, injuring two settlers.
The three earlier drones launched from Yemen were allegedly intercepted.
In light of the operation, aerial navigation over the airport was halted, Reuters reported, citing the Israeli Airport Authority.

in reply to relativestranger • • •I’m baffled that you can say “It’s not ‘AI,’ it’s a machine learning powered speech to text system” with a straight face.
Even if we were to agree that ML-powered speech to text isn’t AI (and I don’t agree to that premise, for the record), there’s still the matter of processing the transcription to transform it into something that can be understood by the point of sale system - aka natural language processing. And while that NLP could be implemented without use of an LLM, given LLM’s current level of hype and the ease with which they can be shoved into any given product, I wouldn’t bet on Taco Bell execs approving such an approach, much less asking for it.

AI is a huge field of computer science. It's not the one tiny narrow definition of artificial general intelligence like HAL 9000 or Skynet or Detroit Become Human.

A suspicious order isn't easy to define and no person who has ever participated in software development would underestimate the infinite ways a User can break software.

in reply to FauxLiving • • •Surely if the person making the order sees 18,000 waters they would think, hold on this doesn’t seem right maybe I should ask the customer if they really want 18,000 waters?
The same applies for the ice cream with bacon on it which was mentioned in the article. I believe a lot of these could be resolved with a bit of common sense.

in reply to FauxLiving • • •There are machine learning algorithms for anomaly detection though. They actually work decently well because exploits like this do in fact differ significantly from regular orders. Because they assume all anomalies are attempted exploits, their false negative rate is rather low while their false positive rate can be a bit higher.
Taco Bell has the capability to create a decently large training set from all recorded orders (which must all be valid and non-malicious) so they shouldn't have too many issues developing this model.
If an anomaly is detected, make a human verify it is indeed an irregular order.

I doubt many people would enjoy the toucn screen ordering as the would struggle tk get close enough and may have to lean way out of their window to order. The touch screen would also have to work reliably while wet or freezing cold.
Then you've got the issue of someone has to clean it and even with regular cleaning it has a huge potential to spread germs. Ultimately with all the disadvantages i think it would be too slow, too inconvenient, and add extra real estate to the drive thru.

in reply to FireRetardant • • •grue
in reply to SapphironZA • • •Touchscreen kiosks are hard to reach through car windows.
Of course, the real solution is banning drive-throughs because they're fucking terrible urbanism to begin with:

No, We Still Don't Need Drive-Throughs
Daniel Herriges (Strong Towns)FoxyFerengi
in reply to grue • • •Man, I never used fast food, or drive throughs as much as I have since I developed a mobility disorder. Last week I put a pickup order in at my local coffee shop out of habit, and couldn't carry both my coffee and the breakfast sandwich to my car at the same time. Which sounds so stupid, but it took so much extra energy for both trips into the store that I was ready to go home and call it a day after that lol
I know the answer is "don't get fast food and just eat at home", but I've also been so tired after work/school that I'm not eating, and I dunno what the answer to that is either. My state isn't a place where people think about how to care for their communities, and most of it has hours of highway between "cities"
grue
in reply to FoxyFerengi • • •No it's not. Well, at least not in terms of urbanism/mobility, anyway; YMMV on your household budgeting.
The answer is that you shouldn't have to get in a car at all between your home and your local coffee shop to begin with. It should be no more than a short walk (or wheelchair ride or whatever), door to door.
FoxyFerengi
in reply to grue • • •It's a mile, and across an interstate exit, to my nearest bus stop. And I live in the only city in the enormous state that takes public transportation seriously.
I think I feel bad when I read articles like the ones you posted, before this I'd cross the distances and not think much of it because my last two cities didn't have public transportation. Now I can't cross fast enough to beat the crossing light, and it's so incredibly unsafe if I fall. I feel like the problem, I guess
grue
in reply to FoxyFerengi • • •Your first sentence contradicts your second. Clearly, there are zero cities in your enormous state that take public transportation seriously.
It's crazy how most Americans have absolutely zero concept of just how bad even "good" infrastructure and city design in the US is, or how much better it could be.
