People online condemned the TikTokker for his actions and said it was a 'deserved' outcome. 'Good lesson for the pranksters,' a comment said. 'Unsurprisingly, shoving a device next to a phone/making the same sound a card reader might, shouting that you've just taken £1,000 off someone, and then claiming it was all a prank - may lead strangers to not believe a word you're saying - shocking eh!,' another pointed out.

‘That's so scary': Customer left shocked over AI drive thru
A shocked Aussie was left dumbfounded after going through a Hungry Jack's drive thru, only to be given an unexpected greeting. The popular food chain recently introduced a trial of Artificial Intelligence voice assistants to take people's orders at the drive thru. The fast food customer took to Tiktok, posting to his popular account pnuks, documenting his unexpected interaction while attempting to order a meal - with the video accumulating more than 750,000 views since yesterday. As he is ready to place an order, a screen with a female voice asks the driver 'what can I get you?' The clearly taken aback customer asks 'Are you AI?' and is responded to with 'I'm Hungry Jacks virtual helper, how can I help you.' 'That's so cooked,' the shocked Aussie said under his breath before placing his order. 'Can I get a large ultimate double whopper meal,' he said. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your . To find out more about how we use cookies, please see our Cookie Guide. 'Did you want double whopper,' the virtual assistant responded. 'Yes a large ultimate double whopper,' the customer clarified. The exchange carried on normally as the he ordered the meal and was told to drive through - prompting the Tiktoker to say 'God that's so scary.' He posted the video with the caption '(Rest in peace) teenagers wanting a job at Hungry Jacks', voicing concern for job safety as the pending fear of AI replacing workers continues to grow. It was a sentiment shared by the 1000+ comments on the video, with little showing support for the virtual helper. 'Goodbye to teenagers who need casual jobs,' one comment said. 'How will kids get job experience with these jobs being replaced?,' another concerned viewer wrote. 'People with accents we are going to have a hard time with this! Even my Siri struggles to understand me!,' someone else noted. 'Why is it so rude, the fact that teenagers are friendlier than an AI is insane,' another wrote. The customer was left shocked after this new feature. Credit: pnuks / Tiktok 'In a cost of living crisis house prices through the roof and now we fighting against AI technology in which thousands of jobs will be lost,' a viewer pointed out. While initially served by AI, customers can request to speak to an employee instead. KFC trailed a similar system 'voice ordering technology' at five of their restaurants in Sydney which was set to be a trial period as well but is still currently in use. The use of AI at fast food restaurants may be relatively new to Australia, but something that the States have been incorporating for a while now, and people have taken advantage of its short comings. The trend saw customers place ridiculous orders to try and beat the technology, with employees often having to overrule the orders.

‘I was blown away': American tourist rips Australia
An American tourist has left a scathing review of Australia on Tiktok following his visit to the land down under. Russell Richardson, known online as RussFlipsWhips, has a large following on TikTok with his social media page garnering 773,000 followers for his content around car dealerships. During his stay in the lucky country, the content creator posted various videos surrounding the cars of Australia and how they differ to the States. He then uploaded a rant about the three things he loved and hated during his stay in Australia, with his biggest issue with the country centred around politics. 'Believe it or not there was a group of men that I met in every part of the country, 55 to 70 years old, that would recognise my accent, come up and ask if I'm American... then they would go on this rant about how terrible America is,' he said. 'How terrible (Donald) Trump is, and how terrible our politics are and how our country's just gone to crap and I probably hate where I live. 'I was really blown away that this happened to me on multiple, more than 10 times, that someone would come up to me and try to talk to me, and tell me how bad our country is, leave me alone.' The Tiktoker unloaded on Australia with his gripes. Credit: RussFlipsWhips / Tiktok The TikTokker defended his country, calling it the 'greatest place' to live and that he was stunned by people's interest in another country's politics. However, the comment he got the most push back on was about the food in Australia. '(Australia's) food just isn't that good, I'll give you chicken salt, but that's all,' Mr Richardson said. 'There's a reason people are overweight in America and it's cause our food is better.' Comments were quick to defend the nation's cuisine while also putting the yankee down a few pegs about his home country. 'Haha… food is NOT better in the US, LOL. In all my travels, nowhere have I had ease of access to good, fresh food and great dining out options, than here in Australia,' one comment said. 'The quality of food is much better in Australia. We don't even accept US beef or chicken here,' another pointed out. Although the strangest gripe that Mr Richardson had about Australia was around something that is a common sight for most Aussies. '(Another thing) I hated is you guys have speed traps (cameras) on like every road, every corner, every highway, every hundred feet,' he added. 'If I lived here I would get a speeding fine like every day.'

Hammering home the point of convenience about Australia, he said, 'it seems no matter where you are in Australia, you're never more than two hours away from the beach, the mountains, the rain forests... I was able to visit it all'.
