Both DoorDash and UberEats are now including AI generated menu item descriptions. Probably something to be aware of if you have food allergies. 😐 #AI #UberEats #DoorDash #fuckAI

@BasementDweller3000 the DoorDash one is hilarious, please drop the name of the business… 😂

@BasementDweller3000 @dalias It also completely defeats the point of the application.

It is supposed to be customized per-store/item or left blank as anything else is actively misinformative.

Chips are thin slices or pieces of various materials,
often used in electronics for processing and storage.

The crisps in my phone are Octa-core (2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55).

@bcasiello @Seb1982 @dentaku @catsalad @BasementDweller3000 @bnys Haha, I see I didn’t read the thread that thorougly, I’ve always been annoyed that it’s the same word.

I’d like to put in a request to rename one of them. Maybe we could change the snack to be called crisps in all Germanic languages and leave chips for the computer parts. It will take some getting used to, but might be worth it. I’m open to other naming standards as well, but I do think the tasty snack is worth it’s own name.

@waspfactory @Seb1982 @dentaku @catsalad @BasementDweller3000 @bnys While we’re at it, can we do something about the whole cookies/biscuits thing? I get so confused when I hear British colleagues talking about websites and their tracking biscuits! 😁

@BasementDweller3000 It's almost right about chips. Our bodies process them and store them as fat.

@BasementDweller3000 this description is the best ever &emdash; it's effervescent effusiveness is incredibly intelligible.

I'm sorry.

Chips are actually pieces of small rock flakes off by impact.
