Taco Bell Rethinks AI Drive-Through After Man Orders 18,000 Waters

An ambitious plan backfired after a man ordered thousands of waters using AI assistant

Taco Bell has suspended the use of its AI-powered voice assistant after a customer used it to order 18,000 waters. The incident, which was revealed earlier this week, apparently occurred when a customer discovered a loophole in the system that allowed them to rack up the seemingly endless supply of waters. It is unclear if the customer managed to actually receive the waters or if the store faced any consequences from fielding such a bizarre request.
