This is for the drive-thru, so you aren't punching in what you want. You are looking out of your car window and saying what you want into a microphone for someone to jot down. This is trying to replace the employee taking the order.

    So...voice recognition, which has been around for decades? They're calling that "AI" now? Yes I realize that newer implementations are more advanced. But it's still a voice recognition system.

    They could have literally just titled the article "McDonald's introduces voice-recognition drive-thru system, sparking customer backlash." But that wouldn't make for an attention-grabbing headline if they didn't shoe-horn "AI" in there.
