RE: KFC Starts Using Facial Recognition To Predict What You’ll Like
Wow, what will companies think of next? I've seen some restaurants where the menu is entirely digital, forcing you to order via an iPad app, but this is taking things to a whole new level. I'm not sure I'm comfortable with having a computer program guess what I like to eat...
ordering via iPads is pretty cool. But I find this tech kind of gimmicky.
Same here. I like the philosophy "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". Fancy tech is all well and good, but it shouldn't be introduced simply for the sake of having fancy tech. I suppose the iPad ordering system is meant to reduce the work of waiters / waitresses, but nothing is more annoying than spending a bunch of time ordering, then having the stupid app crash and having to wait for the restaurant staff to reset the system and then try inputting your order all over again... argh. And when you try to just tell them what you want, they're like "nope, you have to use the app"
haha, I absolutely agree with the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" thing. Unfortunately, lately that is all the corporations seem to be doing!
