#3I expect kids will figure how to inject prompts into Taco Bell's order-taking LLM in no time.

#4I would hope AI would advise me to avoid Taco Bell. At least the UK franchises, it's god awful.

In the US it was once a decent cheap guilty pleasure, but over the last decade the quality has gone down and the price has gone up (not just from inflation but relative to higher tier food) so I can't understand why it's still around.

It's a Yum brand so explains it. KFC used to be finger lickin' good but the quality is awful now, makes me feel sick every time I dare to give it another chance. Not particularly cheap either.

#7The article's title is "Taco Bell Is Adding AI Ordering at Hundreds of US Drive-Thrus", which seems less hyped than the current title makes it out to be.
But maybe thanks to "AI", Taco Bell stock (NYSE:YUM) has gone up slightly. This reminds me of few years ago where a company can just add "Blockchain" to their name and watch their stock go up:

My first job as a teenager (waaaaay back when) was at a Taco Bell. Back then it was actually, honestly, good.
The pinto beans were cooked and refried in the store, the cheese was shredded in the store, the taco shells were fried up in the store, the lettuce arrived fresh and whole, shredded in the store. About the only thing we didn't do in the store was grind the beef.
Everything was legitimately fresh and made of quality ingredients, and the food was affordable.
I know it's weird, but it really does sadden me to see Taco Bell of today being a straight-up mockery of what it was.

That whole tier of restaurants decided to cede the market for half decent food to Chick Fil A/Shake Shack/Raising Canes/Chipotle/etc,
