A new California restaurant claims to be the first fully autonomous restaurant, with its burgers and fries made by robots. As fast food chains increasingly try to find ways for machines to replace some human workers, NBC News’ Elwyn Lopez gets an inside look.

#Robots #Technology #FastFood
They’re taking our jobs!
Those were fresh made burgers just like the old days?
Definitely not the cardboard-like flat & solid wafers of McGarbage, Burger Krap, etc.
We wuz burger kangz
Contrary to popular belief wages don’t rise prices, capitalism and greed do.
investing in technology instead paid workers they don’t get my business for sure. One day they will replace you to. Think about before you support that
Flippy 😂
lol lets see how long until it gets destroyed by some unhappy drugged out customer? after replacing one or two of these a year im sure it will cut right into all those labor savings and if the ice cream machine repair is a racket i can only begin to imagine what the contractors that repair these will be charging.
Meet your replacements democrats 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is dumb if you’re not using humans then why use those fryers! Use a belt fryer.
If thereno workers or less worker who going to buy stuff no job no money
And nothing is stopping someone from hopping the counter and stealing a bunch of stuff.
smash and grab at McDonalds? really you’d have to be starving and totally mental to eat there in the first place.
@@westwardHo- You underestimate a culture where people eat at The Waffle House.
And all of these mechanics provide 100% better customer service and speak better English than most fast food employees today.
Yes! Affordable Meals for the Neighborhood.
lol Cali’s response to the increase in minimum wage.
Look, restaurants pay workers nothing and then expect these devoted workers. Average worker is a teen who doesn’t care. Bring on the robots!
Bye spongbob
This seems like that thing AstroTurfing. Weird the way I heard California started a new mandatory min wage and now there’s this news article. I bet someone set this up just to say oh look how’s that new min wage working now workers? So many impractical things about this. Like the fact that having so many automated fast food outlets would mean having to pay for technicians to call out to these stops when they break down and they would probably add up over many many stops like this costing more than just paying ordinary workers
What’s up with how people are pronouncing R’s these days. That trend in annoying.
Anyone who supports this restaurant against the middle working class.
Is it really?
Or is it just 1000 humans controlling it in India?
AI is often “Anonymous Indians.”
Gavin Newsom has completely DESTROYED California
Even robots have better customer service lol
Clean, friendly, accurate, and fast service.
$9 bucks a burger. So having a human do it is to expensive, but restraints have to raise prices to afford automation🤔
I don’t understand why we as consumers would condone this. It’s really simple just boycott and put them out of business
Curse these hateful demons encouraging automation and displacing and starving out humans.
I trust it 100% l don’t need Phil scratching his rear before cooking my food.
No angry face when you dont tip or ask for ketchup
😂
As a mensch, I do feel for people worried about where the near-future of workforce might be headed, with many jobs becoming more automated.
As a reasonable germophobe, however, I’m not against robots and so-called “AI” making my food.
Though, as a technology man, I also know that technopanic is often greatly exaggerated.
The general public always veers to the extremes with fear because the average person isn’t knowledgeable about what they’re fearing.
For example, true “AI” doesn’t even exist yet. Ask anyone with expertise on the matter. “AI” is largely a buzzword.
All we’re still seeing today is Machine Learning (or ML, which is related within the field of Artificial Intelligence, but _not_ true autonomous Artificial Intelligence), rebranded in much the same way long-existing network storage got rebranded and sold as “the cloud.”
ML is largely regurgitation that relies upon human input. It’s fancier human-guided parametrization.
The concept of “AI” is supposed to be technology developed to the point of full autonomy, complete with self-assessment and self-adaptation (“growth”). We are still _far_ from that point in technology, if ever truly possible.
People bash something that doesn’t even exist yet. It’s easy to do, when emotion leads imagination, rather than knowledge.
Will automation take various job? Yes. But that’s been true since the Industrial Revolution. There’s always a push to automate what can be automated.
Will humans become like the Jetsons? Absolutely not. Machines have inherent limitations. They’re good at routine tasks, but even the smartest computers around struggle with adapting to something that falls outside of routine. They can’t truly “think.”
Life is more chaotic and random than what any computer can account for–or, rather, what its human programmers all can. Humans are developed by chaos and randomness–we’re masters of adaptation. We’ll always need human workers to deal with a human world.
And, believe it or not, we humans cannot make an infinite amount of machinery (limited materials like metals that are harder to find, plastic waste as a major concern, microchip shortages, international controversy with Chinese-based manufacturing, etc).
No solutions is perfect. Humans will still be needed, just for the simple reason that “AI”-powered machines are still very much in their infancy, and a human being is still, in some ways, cheaper than making machines.
😂
How dreadful
Corporation s. Don’t care about you..only your money
We want 20$ an hour. That’s what you get
Now who are people going to cuss out since they can’t abuse fast food workers anymore.
All robots and yet ill still find hair in my food
You Guys At Burger King 👑
If my kids going to college and can’t get a job for extra cash I am not supporting automation
Newsomnomics. Recall Newsom again and vote these democrats out of office.
If I wanna eat junk food, I rather have a cup of noodle for 69 cents than to waste $20 for a combo
AI, Humanity’s new best friend!! Until it considers us unnecessary.
There’s a way around the high minimum wage and robots do not need days off; healthcare; social security; maternity leave; sick days, and vacation. LOL
I am not fat nor lazy , i make my own meals and its clean and cheaper. I have my ways of showing them whos the boss
Wow, this right here is our future? Lord help us all.
Gov Newsom going to get the robot a raise?
I wonder how much is the robots…………
Good cuz I hated my Wendy’s job. I had to make burgers for the dining room and drive way.
This guy is so proud to take jobs from people, he’s about to pop a load in his pants. He forgets people actually need money to buy his garbage.
Good no more spitting
Robots won’t steal from you, show up late or don’t show at all, get into fights with coworkers or customers, mishandle customers food intentionally or unintentionally, consistent quality and portion size, and won’t ask for a raise bc they think they’re entitled to one. I mean, no brainer as a business owner.
Probably bulit to have the same reliability as a McDonald’s ice cream maker as an excuse to keep prices high.
Increase wages for fast food workers
AND
introduce robots to replace these expensive fast-food workers
CA is shooting itself in the foot.
That looks a lot more expensive than $20/hr
How do you like that minimum wage increase now? The purpose was so this could be pushed. Now, you can kiss your high wage minimum salary jib goodbye.
Finally. Better employees!!!!
GOOD ‼️
Why do we have side shots of the reporter throughout this entire piece, and front on shots of the man. Good grief, reverse next time!!!
This is what happens when you complain about your wages. I bet every fast food restaurant will be fully ran by robots and the owners won’t be paying anyone for their labor. My only thing is when we can’t work anymore because jobs will be gone how do we survive?
Good, NO MORE TIPS!!!!
No one tips fast food workers.
They took myyy jaub!
At least now i will get my right portion of everything as in menu. These workers dont give you right portion and if they do they are yelled by manager
Only thing worse than hair in your food ? Hydraulic oil !
Corporate greed is real.We don’t have to support them.
Judgment day
No more fast food freak out videos 😂
it cost me more to use the ATM outside the bank then to go inside the bank …
and its way less secure
how is it that we let robots take away high paying car factory jobs long before we let them take away low paying fast food jobs?🤔
iRobot vibes 😂
A change in the industrial revolution
Next .. Robots eat the hamburger for you too
Surely it’s funny when the health inspectors tell everyone they are coming. Can the robots try to make it look as if everything is really always clean?
RIP
Came right after that new recent law… It should be a warning??
Watch out Danny Boy Lindbergh ! Your replacement is coming 😀
Love it 😀 that is for me! Not saliva, hairs, dirty hands anymore 😊
This is going to happen more and more.
20 dollar minimum wage for a low skill job
Soon the government will be taxing their their ownership or productivity. The thing about employees is they snd their employers pay taxes. That state and federal revenue will need to be replaced.
Make it make healthy food.
I try to never ever eat out.
E. coli and salmonella and God knows what else will be passed around unsupervised 🤢🤮
Now what’re nbc viewers/ Biden voters gonna do to get out of their parents homes…?
So much for gov. Newsomes screwing things up
Are they paying them $20 an hour?
They took our jobs!!!
Contemporary slavery 3.0. Most will be unemployed or underemployed working gig jobs with no health insurance or benefits & maybe 7 dollars an hour in the near future I think. Dystopian—-the ruling class will get richer & will have more rights, freedoms & liberties & the other 90% will live in poverty & slums & we’ll get a small UBI perhaps with restricted freedoms & liberties.
Why support a place that will increase violence in the area due to less jobs and the foods not significantly cheaper?
John 8:47
He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
Ezekiel 18:26-27
26 When a righteous man turneth away from his righteousness, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in them; for his iniquity that he hath done shall he die.
27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from his wickedness that he hath committed, and doeth that which is lawful and right, he shall save his soul alive.
Is everyone forgetting this is taking American jobs away?
Seem like a really white kind of establishment
How’s Gavin’s $20 minimum fast food wage working now? You Democrats are literally voting yourselves out of work.
They can’t purchase anything.
Wont be attending that place .
This is the Democratic Socialist Agenda.
The robot is now on strike and demanding a pay raise to $50 per hour.
Let’s see if they drop the price.
Is she a robot ?
Now if only robots can replace every news anchor reporters to do the news that will be great.
”HELLS NO”
Cooking at home would make these fast food places go out of business. Learn and subscribe on my cooking channel https://youtu.be/3drBysWqe4I?si=UOt8HhGU6tHHhOZ7
Lol can these mess up my order like people? Hopefully its more advanced
