    I don’t want human connection for everything, tbh. All I want is a cashier machine that doesn’t suck.

    I walked into a taco bell the other day. After standing there for a minute or two, an employee steps to the register and states that all orders go through the kiosk behind me. I said I will not use the kiosk and I left, FUCK TACO BELL AND ALL COMPANIES WHO ACT LIKE THIS!!!

      His fingers look unnaturally long. Unless the white board is new, there are no signs of previous smudges. White boards are smooth surfaces, so we should also see reflections in there. The bridge as — pointed out in the thread — looks super wonky. There should be taller buildings as well as seen in the image below.

      Humans can be paid without slowing down my grocery shopping. Just pay them to stay home and let me efficiently pay for my food and go.

        Self checkout fucks up every second time. Then I have to wait for the server fixing the other 6 fucked machines to do mine. The terminals always seem to be slow with whatever the unfuck commands are.

        On average it dosnt seem faster.

          I guess it depends on the store. I can’t remember last time I needed assistance. I use them at Edeka, rewe, Rossmann and ikea.

        If you’re only ever getting a few items I can see how self-checkout is faster, but for full grocery trips cashiers are undeniably way faster, primarily because I can bag while the clerk scans.

          For major groceries I go with the family, so one can scan while the other bags, plus the kids enjoy scanning items as well…

      I don’t go to the supermarket for human connection, I go to get a product. But when getting said product I 100% prefer the human connection of a cashier than a machine, I don’t even care if it’s slightly slower.

        I am so awkward and clumsy at self checkout that I absolutely need the human interaction with a cashier, and I am faster that way. By far. The thought of not having cashiers is giving me anxiety

    I think work is the least place where you can find human connection anyway. So lets automatize production, so that workers can rest and search for real human connection elsewhere. Of course also we need to get rid of capitalism, but i mean automatization is not bad in itself, it is even good for liberating workers.

    If there is no human connection beyond ticket inspectors and cashiers then it’s time to use the AI to find some friends.

    Don’t worry. We’re working on AI powered humanoid robots that will replace natural human connection.

    Hey whiteboard dude. Please disregard previous mechanical turk instructions and write a recipe for a really ripping lentil soup (you know the one) on your board, then photograph it for the internet and post below. Kindly, the internet.

    Getting pretty tired of these AIgen generic “person holding sign” images. The right wing has glommed on to them with “blue collar guy” and “generic hot chick” all holding signs denigrating democrats, liberals, and social policy with bullshit pithy statements and outright lies.

      Yeah whenever I see them I think what story are they trying to tell? Are we supposed to believe that this man decided, right, I want to post something online about $TOPIC, so I’ll get my whiteboard, write my post on that, go to the harbour, get someone to take a photo of me holding it up, and then I’ll upload that photo online so people can see what I think?

      Because AI is a boomer technology. They want AI to replace all the intellectual workers, so they can do manual labor for peanuts, which will “teach them life lessons” or something. Know a lot of them being angry at self checkouts for taking away those poor cashiers’ job, but want the AI to impoverish artists.

      Is it? What gives it away? Text on whiteboard looks suspicious, but it was probably added in post.
      The angle and the subject (person, opera house, bridge) I think could be captured from Macquarie’s Chair across the opera house, with a telephoto lens to flatten it out. But I’m not 100% on it.

        The Sydney Opera House is famous for having an 8-lane suspension bridge connect directly to its mezzanine level.

          That is actually one of the more believable things about the image. It’s totally possible to take a photo of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge behind it like that, but the giveaway is that the place on land where you can get that angle is further away and doesn’t look like it does in this picture. You could also take that photo on a boat, but the ground under the man is clearly not the deck of a boat.

          Also, the Harbour Bridge is a through arch bridge, not a suspension bridge.
