mcdonald's drive-thru ai upgrade: Who Really Profits When Your Order Goes Wrong?
A skeptical observer digging into McDonald's new AI-powered drive-thru system finds more than just faster burger assembly. While the company touts 'efficiency,' the upgrade quietly funnels customer voice data and purchasing habits to third-party marketing firms, raising questions about whether the real 'upgrade' is mining for profit, not just serving food. Early test results show order accuracy dropping by 15% in some locations, yet McDonald's stock rose 3% after the announcement. Who benefits from the mistakes: you, or the data brokers?
