Starbucks' new ChatGPT ordering feature is hilariously broken

星巴克 ChatGPT 點餐功能根本是災難，比直接用 App 還麻煩

Starbucks just launched a ChatGPT integration for ordering, and it's somehow worse than just using the app. Instead of the usual four taps, you now have to type out your entire order in natural language to ChatGPT, which then has to figure out what you actually want. The writer's simple "venti iced coffee with light skim milk" order turned into a complete mess—ChatGPT kept misunderstanding, asking clarifying questions, and generally making the whole process slower and more annoying than literally any other way to order coffee. It's a perfect example of AI being shoehorned into places where it absolutely doesn't belong. Read the full breakdown at The Verge to see exactly how badly this went.

OpenAI's ad partner is now selling ChatGPT ad placements based on what you actually ask

OpenAI just partnered with an ad company that's figured out how to show you ads inside ChatGPT based on what you're typing. So if you're asking ChatGPT how to fix your kitchen sink, you might see ads for plumbing services. Sounds convenient on the surface, but here's the thing—it means someone's literally reading your prompts to decide what ads to throw at you. This is basically the same playbook Google and Facebook use, except now it's happening in the AI chatbot you thought was just helping you with homework. The ad company claims they're not storing your actual prompts, just analyzing them to figure out what category you're in. Whether you buy that or not is up to you, but it's definitely a sign that ChatGPT is becoming less of a helpful tool and more of an ad delivery system. If you're paying for ChatGPT Plus, you might want to check if this affects you too.

Meta is now tracking everything employees do on their computers to train AI agents

Meta has started installing a surveillance tool called Model Capability Initiative (MCI) on US employees' computers that records mouse movements, clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots across work apps and websites. The company says this data won't be used for performance reviews, but rather to train its AI models to interact with computers like humans do—essentially learning how to automate the work tasks Meta employees perform daily. It's a bold move that raises obvious privacy concerns, even if Meta insists the data collection is purely for AI training purposes.
