It's funny seeing that WSJ article making the rounds about having an LLM "run" a vending machine. There was the exact same story from the exact same company six months ago. Even punchline (it's bad at it, but in a funny way) is the viral-share-encouraging same. It's just an ad basically?

And then as now, it's all just roleplay, the chatbot can't directly place orders, process sales or even track inventory. It's just a person entering in "Okay now you have a PS5 or whatever" and acting out the results. But at a glance, the article might make you think it was actually doing something!
