    The first step toward AI displacing workers needs to be at menial, low level jobs --- think a McDonalds drive thru or similar.

    If AI is too dumb to displace fast food workers, it probably can't displace you either.

      Have you not been to a drive through lately? Plenty of ‘computer’ help with the ordering experience.

      I’m sure most fast food places would love to operate sans employees.

        The strangest thing is happening at my drive through, the voice sounds to be of an older woman and when I get to the window, there aren't any woman working in the restaurant.

        There are many non native worker in this restaurant with a distinctive accent but this "old woman" has a local accent.

        It's not an ai voice so my guess is that she's somewhere else (at home?) and only handling the drive trough requests.

        Imagine if we replaced MBAs with LLMs; how quick would there suddenly be a middle management backlash.

          - Sycophantic CHECK

          - Stock phrases CHECK

          - Repackaged "wisdom" CHECK

          - Expensive without being valuable CHECK

          - Verbose without much actual substance CHECK

          - No real accountability or consequences for bad decisions/ information CHECK

          Sounds as if MBAs and LLMs are already mostly interchangeable...
