I’m still skeptical. I’m willing to bet that these systems work well in vaccum, but I suspect that they will struggle with things like accent recognition, order changes, and novel questions. Even if the tech really does work well in the field, they’re all working on brand new hardware, and I’m curious to see how well they take orders on a microphone that’s been exposed to the elements and car exhaust for a few years. I suspect that these will wind up like the self-checkout lane; more efficient when it’s working well, but requiring too much human supervision to be a real replacement for anything.
