| 0:00.0 | I just want the order right, that's all. Apparently, Wendy's is going to start using |
| 0:12.3 | chatbot to take people's orders as they go through the drive-through. So they opted to |
| 0:18.8 | use Google's natural language software to train an AI capable of taking food orders. |
| 0:26.1 | According to Wendy's chief executive, Todd Penneger, he says, a chatbot is so good. You |
| 0:33.0 | won't know you're talking to anybody, but an employee. Oh, so apparently, Wendy's |
| 0:38.4 | been working with Google to fine tune its large language model to cope with a vast array |
| 0:44.6 | of ways in which customers order food at the drive-through. Customizations required unique |
| 0:51.1 | terms, phrases, acronyms. That way, any combination of food items can be handled. So common |

| 1:50.9 | people to be happy with their orders. And I am. I am as long as you get my order right. |
| 1:57.1 | And makes you always double-check the drive-through order anyway. Those times that you don't |
| 2:03.1 | are the times that you get screwed almost every time. You can count on it. And remember, |
| 2:09.6 | I mean, years ago in the movie, the classic movie, Lethal Weapon 2, with Joe Pessi as Leo |
