I’m a very anxious person and I kinda liked the Taco Bell AI drive thru thing specifically because it was way less pressure even if it was annoying. There’s plenty of other stuff I simply won’t buy because I don’t want it enough to overcome my anxiety.

If the chatbots are reliable, I’d much prefer them in most shopping scenarios. So this makes sense to me.
