McDonald's $8.5 Billion AI Investment Sparks Debate Over Priorities
A viral social media post highlights a recent announcement that McDonald's plans to invest $8.5 billion into its restaurant operations, with a focus on integrating artificial intelligence to drive a brand comeback. The post contrasts this high-tech corporate strategy with a user's suggestion that the company could more effectively improve its appeal by returning to simpler, nostalgic offerings, specifically citing the return of a dollar menu and the inclusion of classic N64 gaming stations in their PlayPlace areas.
2 combos, an extra pop and ice cream. 30+$ Are you fucked?
McDonalds? Comeback? What are they talking about? They want to return to China-Cough Lockdown days like Netflix does or something? I seem to remember that McDonalds really made a LOT of money in those days because they saved a lot of money in cleaning costs.
I was at a "modern" McD once. Let me say I left because of how much effort it took to order anything. Wtf is wrong with a normal cashier accepting money? No, I won't touch screens others have touched and I have not once seen getting cleaned in my entire life.
AI should NEVER be associated with food. Oh right, we need a machine to decide toothpaste and sawdust are critical ingredients.
For starters they could change oils more often that fries won't stink across the street. And if we are going this deep: don't fckin' deep fry fish products and anything else in same oil. I thought it was basic practice and common sense.
They should invest half that amount to repair the icecream Machines
make food bigger and cheaper, their burgers are smaller than my hand, fucking scam
Dafuq they are expecting AI to help them with? It sure as shit aint gonna be flipping burgers… what they need is the playful restaurants of yesteryear and cheap menu options. It now costs more than a homemade meal, and is unhealthy AF
Nahhhh, better to spend absurd amount of money on AI.
Companies strategies are retarded these days
