    Well, yes, those caricatures are based off black people that worked in the food industry and came to represent a big part of it. So food brands held on to the image as a way to sell their product. Adopting the voice of a black kid for the AI drive through is not much different imo. It’s a fictional representation of a person that used to do that same job.
