I think the headline is two completely separate statements. They just put them next to eachother for clickbait

If this is AI, then McDonald’s has been using AI for a long time. Also, my Keurig is AI powered too.

The robot drinks in Vegas are novelty. As overpriced as casino drinks generally are, the ones at robot stations are even more expensive.

I got a disgustingly over-boozed long island iced tea from one such place. I assume they add more liquor to make it feel worth the extra price. It’s not.

Robots pouring drinks has been a thing on cruise ships for years. The big money is using AI to keep people gambling.
