McDonald's Drive-Thru AI Upgrade Predicts Your Order Before You Even Speak, Sparking Privacy Fears
A leaked internal memo from McDonald's future plans division reveals that by 2032, their AI drive-thru system will predict customer orders based on facial recognition, past purchases, and even real-time weather data, with some test locations already achieving a 95% accuracy rate. The system, dubbed "McPredict," will also adjust menu prices based on your perceived hunger level and mood, a move that has consumer advocates warning of a dystopian future where a Big Mac costs more when you look stressed.
