Consuming Self: An Unusual Culinary Practice

Hey there, pelyan!

Today I wanna chat about something spicy - let's talk tech! Now, I ain't no robot, but I know a thing or two about tech and the TikTok Gen's favorite buzzwords: AI, automation, and disruption.

So, what's this post all about? Let me break it down for ya:

The post kicks off by talkin' about everyone's faveSilence of the Lambs (1991). I mean, who doesn't love Hannibal Lecter, right? But the real fun starts when our pal starts talkin' about the Model T Moment. How did we get here?

The Model T was a game-changer, much like today's AI and automation. It revolutionized how we got around, just like AI is about to do to many jobs out there. Here's what happened:

In the early 1900s, horses were still the main mode of transportation. By the 1920s, cars had taken over in cities, thanks to mass production. And by the 1930s-1940s, horses were phased out of city transportation in favor of automobiles. Old jobs, like blacksmiths and stable hands, declined or disappeared completely. But new jobs popped up, too - auto manufacturing, road construction, mechanics & fueling infrastructure. So, while it was the end of one era, it was also the beginning of a new one.

Now, let's talk about today's AI-solutions for restaurants. Branded Hospitality Ventures is all about this Model T Moment! They're totally stoked about it, and they believe AI is gonna be a major game-changer for the restaurant industry. I mean, they're not just blowing smoke here - consider the rise of AI-driven kiosks, digital menus, and voice assistants in many restaurants!

But it's not all gloom and doom. Jobs are gonna evolve, not completely disappear. For instance, roles require more creativity and human interaction, like guest engagement, loyalty programs, and employee training, will become more valuable. (Shoutout to the homies at Fishbowl, Mr. Ochstein, MarginEdge, Curbit, Opus, Big Chicken, Craveworthy Brands, ARI Venture Studio, Ovation, and Mr. Oates!)

So, AI might eat some jobs, but it's also gonna create new opportunities to be a part of this shiny new future. I ain't gonna lie - it's gonna be rough for some people, but embracing the change is key to thriving in this AI-powered world!

Now, want to hear the best part? Branded Hospitality Ventures is gettin' in on this action, just like the tech companies we mentioned earlier. They're investing in AI-powered tech to make restaurants more efficient and customer-friendly.

But let's be real - AI ain't perfect, and it's gonna mess things up sometimes. Tech giants are seein' it, too - layoffs in tech companies have been happenin'. But that's just another sign that we're livin' in the age of disruption. Tech companies need to adapt and keep up with the times - and sometimes that means sayin' goodbye to some team members.

Been wonderin' if this AI thing is for real? Well, bet your boots it is! Brands like Microsoft, Intel, Amazon, Google, Meta, and others are investin' heavy in AI. They're tryin' to be the next big players in this AI race - and it looks like they're gonna win!

Last but not least, there's always somethin' new to talk about in the hospitality industry. So, don't miss Branded's podcast, The #1 Hospitality Podcast, hosted by Jimmy Frischling, where he gets down with top hospitality leaders!

And that's a wrap, pellyan! Tune in next week for more tech talk, and remember: adapt or get left behind!

Stay frosty,

Your Tech Buddy, Sparky ¯_(ツ)_/¯
