kind of dumb. meanwhile, they’re barely paying entry level workers much. even less incentive to do a good job, just let the computer do the voice work.

I’m actually a fan of the guy. I think he’s made some interesting movies. I was just trying to come up with the most out-there celebrity voice that I could think of.

“Yeah, can I get a quarter pounder with cheese, no onion, extra pickle”

Will I finally get my Freakin’ French Fries??

At least the AI can’t sue you for calling it a useless sack of shit.

upselling conversions

As someone with a severe food allergy, this kind of shit terrifies me. Humans are already bad at getting my order right when I ask for no goddamn cheese on a burger. It’ll be so fun when I have to explain to a kiosk that I’ll die if they get it wrong lol 

I'm an Eagles fan that had a Starting Lineup figure of Keith Byers, and I would not know who it is.

Yet another reason to avoid fast food.

Just in time for the Superb Owl!

I suppose it s a novelty that some enjoy—I mute the directions on my GPS, so obviously it’s not for me. It just seems like hearing Ryan Reynolds say “Just the sandwich, or would you like to make that a combo?” isn’t going to drive anyone to a different fast food joint, making it not worth the money, you know?

Countdown to hearing Ben Affleck’s voice come out of every Dunkin speaker...

It’ll be magical, alright!

I hope to, one magical day, order a Black Bean Cheesy Gordita Crunch from Bobcat Goldthwait.

“The first digitally cloned order-taker will be former NFL player and sports broadcaster Keith Byars.”

Is... is there any appeal to this at all? I mean, I guess if you think the voice is real, maybe, but knowing it’s AI, is anyone going to one chain over another because it sounds like a d-list celebrity (or even an A-lister) is taking your order?

Who asked for this?

Festoon it with creepy paper!

Grifters gonna grift.
