It's not clear if the cafe is just that poorly run, or if people know ai is running it, so they stay away from even trying it. Both would cut into the profits.
Did you not read the article? It's pretty clear that the AI is poorly running the cafe.
You might think that ordering cases of canned tomatoes, or a 10-year supply of rubber gloves are poor management decisions, but that's because this AI is playing seven dimensional chess against your tic-tac-toe. Just wait until it's cornered the tomato market, and then you'll see.
Especially when the training data contains some gems such as this: https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/kzoh1c/i_am_financially_ruined_agricultural_futures/
Call me when it starts to corner the Toilet Paper Market. Because THAT is when it has become sentient and is planning the next economic apocalypse.
The AI is going to poison the tomato supply with a toxin absorbed through the skin!
