How quickly we get entirely side-tracked from the original Important Message. I blame the acronyms.
@jerrej @KimSJ @nesce @MarkHoltom Some of us who have ended up on Mastodon started out on news:cam.misc, where thread drift was an art form.

I suggest it’s not a sidetrack; the message we should be extrapolating from the OP is that there are appropriate uses of technology, and there are inappropriate ones. And adding pressure to restaurant staff to save some of the wage bill, thereby enshittifying the dining experience, is certainly one example of inappropriate technology.@KimSJ @nesce @TimWardCam @MarkHoltom
My anecdote was about a bar with like fifty terrace tables, with an additional service of some simple snack food, but I get where you're going. I wouldn't want a dining experience through QR codes, websites, or apps either, let alone the "AI assistents" that are obviously coming soon to a bar or restaurant near you. *shudder*

@MarkHoltom That's like being against mathematics! If you throw out the machine learning out goes pattern matching cancer detection, protein folding and a whole bunch of stuff that regular computing couldn't do in a thousands years! Know the real enemy - capitalism!

One time I was in a large group, so tried the QR code rather than go up to the bar to order, then had to type in the table number from the same plack that was nailed to the table with the QR code on! They had had a unique plack made for each table but they all had exactly the same QR code so the system couldn't automatically identify where you were sitting! -
@TimWardCam @MarkHoltom .... and is used in science, in radiology, but the name is too close to "chat bot" and the masses cannot understand the difference so we must destroy it. 🫠

or they just ignored the difference for the sake of the pun, assuming most people who would get the reference, would also be aware there is nuance to the subject, even if they don't know all the details. -
