I’ve tried this repeatedly. I’ve answered “No” to their upsale. I’ve sat there in silence, waiting for it to time out. I’ve asked for a human. Every time the AI takes my order, it adds nacho fries that I didn’t order and specifically rejected.

The problem isn’t that I need a human to fix it. The problem is that the AI is specifically programmed to ignore a rejected upsale. Their AI is smart enough to recognize the rest of my complicated order, but it can’t understand “No”? Horseshit. They are using this fraudulent programming to increase their upsale metrics, expecting us to docilely accept the sale rather than raise a fuss.

Drive-offs are another of the metrics they look at. Since I’ve communicated with nobody but the AI, they have nobody but the AI to blame for the drive-off. They don’t get to blame a human for failing to remediate the problem.

Or, and hear me out: I can drive off, flip them the bird, and go down to one of the other 15 fast food places within a 5 minute drive, that doesn’t use a speech recognition AI to take my order.

The fucking taco bell AI likes to ask if I would like anything else, then ask if I want nacho fries. Then, hearing “No”, go ahead and add them anyway.

Then it likes watching me drive away, giving the store the finger.

You raise a valid point.

The solution to the problem you describe is through exercise of Article I, section 8, clauses 15 and 16. Congress could and should mandate additional training on those people described in 10 USC 246, for the specific purpose of recognizing and engaging fascist “insurrection”.

The several states have similar powers, and could act independently from Congress to do the same.

The solution to the problem you describe is certainly not “lay down arms in the face of the enemy”.

Only “candidate” I’ve been excited about so far is Jon Stewart.
