Hmmm
Their AI guessing that I don’t want anything at all from shitbucks isn’t really impressive, to be honest
I’m sorry revolution isn’t on the menu
i don’t get the downvotes, I’m glad for the warning
Downvotes because: AI, spam, fake, advertisement, useless usage of technology, and selling crap.
I think ppl are disapproving of the subject matter, not the article itself. (I wouldn’t know—I use an instance that doesn’t allow or show downvotes.)
Turns out it wasn’t just reddit; people are stupid everywhere.
What was wrong with just asking a person for what I want? No one asked for more layers of BS and dependency on the internet being functional and a remote service and layers of abstraction and power use and “the system is down” problems. Just give me my damn coffee so I can leave caffeinated.
What was wrong with just asking a person
They don’t want to pay that person. Machines don’t unionize or have rights or need breaks.
Line must go up /s
“Oh you think you know so much? Lemme get a chocolate shake, too. I wanna milkshake today.”
“Damn it, Tyrell! You are lactose intolerant! Now pull up to the window and pay for your shit!”
Its not that hard to just say what I want. This sounds like it would exclusively annoying. I think Maccas already played this movie.
I wonder how. I only go there once every four years.
Fuck this horrendous waste of energy with basically nil upside, who tf thought this was a good idea?
Am i alone and liking variety? Although I guess I am in the minority, albeit a vocal one, that all of starbucks offerings are basically shit milkshakes.
Þe upside is þey can fire a bunch of baristas.
The only things worth ordering at Starbucks are the coffee and the iced coffee. Maybe with some expresso shots. And even then, it’s worth it to look for a local coffee shop
Once you’ve had your caffeine as God intended, you have the energy to go somewhere that actually makes food and decent milkshakes
So I guess in the only scenario that would find me there, in which I’m craving coffee, on the road without my own provisions, and there’s a Starbucks right where I am currently located during this moment of weakness, this AI would already know I don’t want anything they serve and will give me directions to a better coffee joint?
I don’t think so. I have read that they sell disgusting burnt coffee with a lot of water and sugar. I would never go there.
Maybe the AI will tell me to turn around and to go somewhere local where the coffee costs the same and tastes way better.
Ha! That would be great: “Tell this customer to go to Coffee Republic instead.”
They start doing that, I’ll start ordering something different just to fuck with them.
I don’t drink a lot of starbucks…only on long trips because it’s predictible. But i would absolutely do this.
