AI Threatens Millions Of Summer Jobs!

Leave a comment

SAN FRANCISCO, California (The Adobo Chronicles, San Francisco Bureau) – We’re approaching the summer season when millions of young Americans take temporary jobs during the school break.

Their best bet are always the fast food chains like McDonald’s, BurgerKing, KFC, INnOUT Burgers, and yes, even the Philippines’ Jollibee.

But these summer jobs are being threatened by AI (Artificial Intelligence) which may very well do all the tasks assigned to homo sapiens.

For starters, Wendy’s has announced that it will begin testing an AI-powered chatbot that will talk to customers and take drive-thru orders.

For sure, the other fast food chains won’t be left behind and may also start their own AI customer service.

Already, restaurants use robots in place of human waiters, eliminating the need to recruit additional staff, or enable them to downsize their personnel.

Baguio Restaurant, Former Haunted House, Not Doing Very Well

Leave a comment

BAGUIO, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Baguio Bureau) – It was called the Laperal White House, a long-time landmark in the City of Pines — infamous for being “haunted.”

Now, the old house which was used as a garrison by the Japanese forces during World War II, is gone. Not the building, but the name. It is now Joseph’s, a high-end dining place.

Unfortunately, despite the hype, Joseph’s opened with a few glitches to the dismay of its first-day patrons. Some Mariteses (gossip mongers) say that the restaurant is not doing very well, financially.

But leave it to the entrepreneurial skills of the Filipino.

Joseph’s has just launched an extensive Public Relations campaign to boost its image and business.

It has hired ghost writers!
