This latest step by Burger King elicited swift condemnation among some social media users who described it as "#dystopian".

Excerpt: "The AI system, called BK Assistant, compiles "friendliness scores" at the fast-food chain's locations based on employees' conversations, according to a promotional video the company shared with the BBC.

"The chain is currently piloting the system at 500 US restaurants, a spokesperson for Burger King said.

"The company says the technology is not designed to 'record conversations or evaluate individual employees'." [Yeah, right, sure...]

Gestern zwischen 7 und 8 Uhr abends in der Steinberggasse (Altstadt, Mischverkehr, Weihnachtsdeko und Passanten):
Ein Food-#Kurier von #BigBurger in #Winterthur fährt zuerst deutlich zu schnell durch die Zone und blind rechts ums Eck in die Metzggasse. Pfeilt zwei Minuten später OHNE Licht (Tagfahrlicht-Pflicht ist was für Weicheier, offensichtlich) und wieder viel zu schnell aus der Metzgasse weiter in Richtung Technikumstrasse.
Dieses Fahrverhalten kam #Fremdgefaehrdung gleich.#carrogance
