by the time i've figured out how to trick the mcdonalds chatbot i could have figured it out myself
Unless the title of a post on Lemmy tells you how ๐ค
the last time i ate something there that didn't give me the runs was i'm not saying ago. so like, liking maccas is a bigger hurdle than you're thinking
I get where you're coming from and liking their cardboard "food" isn't a hurdle I clear myself.
That being said, you don't have to like something to pretend to want to order it ๐
you want to know the worst part? when i was 18, the local McD's magnate "liked my hustle" and offered me a manager spot after a gig at his mansion because i was both our band's front man and roadie (while everyone else in the band fucked around in his mansion playing with the amenities, i packed up and then got ready to leave with all our gear. i had another gig to get to that night with my other band. he saw that and offered me the job on the spot, but since i was going to college [editors note please read after four full snifters of farts] four states over and also i was an idiot, i turned him down. one in a long line of stupid decisions)
The person asking the McDonald's AI how to reverse a linked list in Python is almost certainly an undergrad in a programming 101 course, so this was definitely quicker for them (although they didn't learn anything).
They learned how to get McDonald's AI to do their work for them.
They're in the wrong program then, that skill is more useful for business majors.
