Get your robot hands off my burrito!

Soo mechanized burrito making is a thing now?

BURRITO MAKING DEATH MACHINES. ALL HAIL OUR NEW ROBOT OVERLORDS

I don’t even know where to start on this…On the one hand, you get a consistently made burrito, but on the other hand, at what point does mechanization get a little too out of hand and the human element is completely removed from the fast food system? Does it really reduce cost? And at the end of the day, the burrito maker is only a small part of the whole process of you know, running a fast food joint. Eventually its going to get to the point of us just eating next to vending machines. (On a side note, Japan has some really amazing vending machines where you can really buy anything. Totally unrelated non sequitur)

Plus, when i get my food constructed in front of me, sometimes I want more or less of something, otherwise I’d just buy something out of the vending machine.

This: “Last but by no means least, a huge challenge to robot burrito-making is that the inputs are poorly structured. The last time I went to Chipotle, I ordered a burrito with “uh, some carnitas I guess, but not too much—just a bit—yeah, that’s great, thanks.”” Will make any robots (and some humans) days just a little more miserable. Can robots contemplate suicide? I wonder. What would be the advantage of creating self aware burrito making robots? Besides for of course, a trememdous waste of resources, the thought of an army of chipotle sauce wielding bots hunting down the last survivors of humanity troubles me more than it should…
