You know; once I had an exchange like that in a Fast Food Restaurant….with a human cashier who just did not know how to take an order that was not part of a combo. I wonder if they got this individual to train A.I. servers….. makes you wonder.
Did you intentionally make the AI “server” look like the mouth parts of a hookworm (or a urinal), or is that just a coincidence? At any rate, I would seriously NOT be willing to get close to that thing.
It looks like something out of a fever dream or a 1950s low budget sci-fi film about green aliens invading Earth. They usually were, it’s not until close to the 1970s that sci-fi gets more sophisticated.
Here is a quote from an article in the LOS ANGELES TIMES about CaliExpress, the first robot cook/waiter restaurant: "I was eager to visit CaliExpress, the new roboticized Pasadena restaurant, to learn what the future of fast food looked (and tasted) like. Outside there were slogans befitting a traveling circus: “AI FRYING ROBOT MARVEL!” My curiosity piqued, I entered, passing by a facial recognition scanner advertising the ominous-sounding opportunity to “pay with your face.”

I can’t post a link to the advertisement for server robots that inspired this series, but the dialogue and misinterpretation is very close to reality.

I love that Kate is curious enough that she hasn’t just walked away yet.

Don’t worry about the water, the robot can’t do anything to it.

Pay with your face. I did not make that up.

This arc makes no sense to me. Only me and the cats in the house. Don’t even have TV. And my stereo is from 1990.
