As I've gotten older I've cut back on my fast-food intake quite a bit. Not really for heath reasons either, though it's a nice side benefit. It just really isn't very good food, and it seems to have gotten worse over the past 20-30 years. Especially for what it costs.
However, I will never order from a voice-driven AI system. If that is the choice, then I decline. I don't use it in any other area of my life, in fact I cannot stand talking to computers despite using them professionally as a career. When I call someplace and have to speak to a computer I mumble jibberish until the system gives up and transfers me to a human. I'm a human, I want to speak to other humans, not computers.
English isn't my first language so I dread any kind of voice-based systems, and automatic recognition is just the worst. Calling a help line where you have to say what you're calling about to an AI first is just futile. If that's the only way to order at McDonald's then I'll just stop eating at McDonald's.

Same here. I learned to cook and spice foods properly when I finally decided to go on a diet. I love making foods spiced just the way I like them. Now I can barely eat at McDonalds because the food is hideous - fat, sugar & salt that starts me craving and leaves me feeling sick.
