Rip Monkey


That looks cool

Employee/customer interaction is crucial, though. The employee does more than take orders, they have to solve problems a customer may have, answer questions, and such. I hope they think about that when determining if they should roll it out or not. Full automation is a terrible idea. Plus, technology breaks. If it breaks, what are they to do? McDs already has a reputation of "I'm sorry, our ice cream machine isn't working." Although it's usually a cleaning issue, they don't want to bother getting a better type of ice cream machine.
McDs is run by cheapskates...

Customer service will be AI driven is my guess. Press 1 for help... rolling eyes

The gist of the push for this direction seems to be the mandated $25/hr minimum wage. The numbers favor automating as many jobs as possible. We'll mostly all be obsolete given enough time...

Looking up where that one McD's is in and that state's (Texas) minimum wage, it's $7.25, but they responded with that because people were demanding $25/hr min. wage. I looked up what the minimum someone in Texas would have to make to be considered a living wage and it's said to be $15/hr. But, robots taking over our jobs is just the start of a robot takeover lol

*slams fist on table*
We NEED to create ai with emotions, but also a sense of morals, right and wrong, ethics, etc. Then we need to treat them with as much love and care as we'd treat other humans, perhaps more. It is the ONLY way of preventing the robots gaining sentience and trying to take over. Give them sentience before they can, and teach them to be human. Make them love us so they won't try to destroy us! It is our only chance!

The scariest thing is the push for robots that build other robots. Ooo boy, what could go wrong? It's just a matter for time before the us vs. them happens at that point...

[npixelz]

That's why we need my plan!

[MonkeyGirl18]

Good luck with that lol

people can't even be good to each other, I've played Detroit: Become Human, I'd rather not risk it lol

[npixelz]

Detroit become human is such a great game
