Sick of A.I. at Taco Bell? Just Say You Want “1,000 Waters”

If you’re sick of dealing with A.I. everywhere, there’s one fool-proof way of confusing it:  Battling artificial intelligence with ACTUAL stupidity.

Someone is going viral on TikTok for their “life hack” to get a REAL person instead of A.I. to take your order in a Taco Bell drive thru.  They just asked for “1,000 waters.”  Which apparently flagged it.

The automated system said, “Let me get a team member to help you.”  Then, a worker said, “Let me know when you’re ready”, and the guy went ahead and ordered a normal drink.  (Here’s video.)

Of course, you could probably just SAY you want to talk with a human or something, but I guess this works too.  I wonder what the A.I.’s threshold was.  Could you have ordered 20, 50, or 100 waters without tripping it?

I know I’m not supposed to say this:  But is there also a life hack for exchanging a human employee FOR A.I.?  I mean, even in this video it was much easier understanding the A.I. than the muffled human employee.
