Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If an LLM can't be trusted with a fast food order, I can't imagine what it is reliable enough for. I really was expecting this was the easy use case for the things.

It sounds like most orders still worked, so I guess we'll see if other chains come to the same conclusion.

The idea of anomaly detection is to project some input onto a (high dimensional), numeric output. From the training data alone, you can then see where the projections are clustered and develop a high dimensional "boundary" where everything within is known and good and everything outside is unknown and possibly bad. Since orders come in relatively slow, a human would be able to check for false positives and overwrite the computer decision.

By the way, an ideal training set is preprocessed and has duplicates removed and new orders added by recombining parts of individual orders.

For example, if we have 3 orders:

  • (Hamburger, Fries)
  • (Hamburger, Fries)
  • (Cheeseburger, Sandwich)

We could then create the following set:

  • (Hamburger)
  • (Cheeseburger)
  • (Fries)
  • (Sandwich)
  • (Hamburger, Fries)
  • (Hamburger, Cheeseburger)
  • (Hamburger, Sandwich)

And so on, and so forth. A naive variant is just taking the power set of all valid orders.

This is more complicated than just having the available menu items, the available modifications, and the limits on quantities to compare against. This is already available through the app/online ordering.

That doesn't prevent someone ordering "everything" at max quantity, which is almost certainly a "malicious" order.
