FTA - This is after McDonalds cancelled AI in their drive through last year after people getting orders for bacon on ice cream (which can be delicious, tbf) and hundreds of dollars of unwanted nuggets. So... AI isn't even smart enough to run a drive through. Until "common sense" is addressed, AI is going to be more trouble than it's worth for the vast majority of applications. Problem is, we don't know how to implement "common sense", or even define it concretely. That's why all these projections about AGI and superintelligence are so bogus. We are clearly missing at least one, and probably many, algorithmic advancements. And these types of advancements just aren't predictable. Could be 5 years, could be 50.
I always wanted creamy avocado ice cream, which would be great with bacon. Also blue cheese ice cream would be delicious.
I ordered a Quarter Pounder at a McDonald's drive through. They said "there will be a wait on that". I asked, "Oh really? How much will it weight?" There was a long pause. Then they finally said, "about three minutes". That's not the answer I was looking for.
> after people getting orders for bacon on ice cream
I let people, drunk teenagers trying to get their date to laugh mostly, add bacon to ice cream, flurries and shakes when I worked at McDonalds. It happened once or twice a year. It made people happy honestly.
