So-called artificial intelligence (AI) will keep staff at fast casual dining low. Till more affordable bots can serve and clean tables.

Applebee’s and IHOP Plan to Introduce AI in Restaurants - WSJ

"...
One promise of AI is that it can make fast-food and casual-dining restaurants more automated, lessening the need for human labor and speeding up the work of existing staff. The ability to offset labor costs—whether by reducing or more accurately forecasting it—is a major cost savings for restaurants, Jashinsky said.

But there is reason to proceed with caution: AI-based order taking isn’t always accurate, and Wendy’s faced backlash last year for testing menus that used AI to adjust pricing.

YouTube demonetized my weed video

The arbiters of all things “misinformation” say they’ve done a “manual review” of my 9-ft weed video and confirmed it is “not suitable for most advertisers.” I went from censored over doctors/scientists to silenced over my goat pasture maintenance. SMH. 🤦🏼‍♀️
