  What do you think a dishwasher is

    More work to prep dishes for washing than actual help

      Have you ever used a dishwasher?

      • oldfart@lemm.ee ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        Yes, and I’ve been disgusted by pieces of food perma-sticked to otherwise clinically clean mugs.

      … you don’t need to prep your dishes before putting it in the dishwasher.

  How much joy and creativity do think there was in these places before?

    When I was a cook, even if I was just making something simple, I could still find creative satisfaction in a variety of ways. How you sprinkle on the garnish, plating, using a little more of this, a little less of that. Food to a chef is like art designed to be destroyed, so with the temporary nature of the medium, it really allows you to be creative in a multitude of ways. You’re not hung up on making it perfect, because it’s just about to be eaten, so it let’s you be more free with your design choices. It can be fun creating art while you’re supposed to be working.

    but if my job was suddenly just washing up after a machine… well. That will get old real quick.

      The first paragraph is a fantasy.

      In this restaurant, where the chef was replaced by a salad machine, the “chef” was a human salad machine before. There was no time to play with garnish and playing, they weren’t serving Michelin star food. The term “chef” is used very liberally here, you aren’t a chef if the only thing you cook at a restaurant is assemble salad that a machine can do to the same standard.

      They were assembling salads, it wasn’t a dream job.

      Imagine being able to automate a cook but science still hasnt come far enough for some kind of dish washing machine and a robotic vaccum cleaner, weird huh

        Buddy you guys are acting like they can automate professional chefs? Your lucky they don’t tear your arm off giving you the food.

  Automation should replace cooks, but in fast food restaurants instead of proper ones. They should free up people who work brain-dead jobs at Mcdonalds or KFC to let them work at other places, including other proper restaurants that don’t make fast food.

    Lol yeah right. I’m sure the only thing stopping Brandon from working at a Michelin restaurant is his McDonald’s job off of I-95

    • ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      So it’s better that he never even gets the opportunity to try to make it there? It’s better if he works at Mcdonalds until he’s 60?

        Does he already have the opportunity, robot or not?
