  • I’ve spoken to an AI drive thru speaker box at a Checkers. First time I ordered something on the regular menu without any substitutions or anything weird. It was the best drive thru ordering experience I’ve ever had. The AI understood me perfectly and spoke loud and clear without a thick, difficult accent like I usually hear from the staff at that location. The second time, my girlfriend wanted a limited time spicy chicken that was advertised online but not on the menu, and fries with cheese without chili. The AI had no knowledge of the limited time menu item, so I had to revert to regular chicken. The AI also interpreted “fries with cheese” as “chili cheese fries,” and I had to tell the staff to leave out the chili. In essence, it’s great until you try to order something it’s not expecting that a human would be able to handle easily.
