I’d accept that, and laud it as a valid use case for AI images even; as long as it was clear what was being done and had a human in the loop to ensure the generated image was reasonable.

That is absolutely a sentiment I can get behind. I just am afraid it’ll backfire and I’ve been lucky enough to not have to have that battle yet.

“You demanded I put AI here. This is *your* fault.”

I don’t do fast food all that often, but if I’m in the mood for a burger or taco or whatever, I’ll sometimes visit one.

Many in my area are still humans on the other end of the drive-through, but I sometimes get a chatbot.

I haven’t done this, because I don’t want the fallout to hit the underpaid human workers on the other end, but I have a fantasy of ordering 1000 tacos or chicken nuggets or something and then just driving away. Honestly, this is a likely root cause of the “misinterpreted orders” that others have seen: they were behind someone like me who was fed up enough to go through with it.

This isn’t to discount the various other ways LLMs can screw up.

McDonald’s told franchisees it would remove the tech…

I suspect this is also a franchisee option. Even if the brand isn’t forcing it, I think the local stores can implement their own independently. It’d be neat if a brand put no-ai in their franchise agreements. I’d give that brand more attention.

I think you’re one un-caught hallucination away from having claude eat the production database. I get that you think you’re approving suggestions, but there are many examples already of “<llm> ignored my directive of don’t make changes and then said sorry” out there.

If a prompt can make changes, then at some point a prompt will make bad changes. It hasn’t happened to you yet, apparently, but you’re playing Russian Roulette with the business.

I do agree it has some use cases, but shouldn’t be used to make pictures, video or writing text a human claims as something they produced.

To be fair, power point - if you don’t regularly use it and especially if you’re using a ‘template’ someone made - is a miserable experience.

Add four words to a sentence - why did the fucking font size change and why did an unrelated text box shrink?!?!? I just need to add ‘this has been approved’ to my status deck.

Why can’t I update a blob of text? Oh, it’s in the Slide Master, which has exactly one instance of this slide type in the deck.

/rant. I haven’t lowered myself to using copilot to make these changes, though.
