I used to regularly go to my local Taco Bell, but stopped going after they rolled this out. Not mad at them or anything, it was just sometimes a frustrating experience, and overall I was not sure how I felt about it: it's more impersonal, I wondered if it meant less jobs available in my local community, etc. So without making a conscious decision, I just stopped going.

I wonder how this has affected sales and net profit at their locations using AI in this way.

You'll get used to it, like we got used to constant video surveillance everywhere.

One of these is active, the other passive.

Modern surveillance feels pretty active too me. It's embedded into damn near every single facet of my life. I can't escape it and I feel the chilling effect, I feel the oppression. I'd rather take the automated agents.

I don’t think it’s fair to say we have gotten used to it. It’s just so inconspicuous that no one thinks about it until it’s too late

The leading suppliers and vendors that distribute surveillance technology put billions into R&D to make sure of this. It's another of many dark industries.
