Having worked in restaurants, I am trying and failing to imagine any restaurant staff who have the time and care enough to monitor spy light bulb audio.

You could automate it to listen for keywords and send alerts to a tablet or something

Imagine a restaurant that cares enough to wiretap every table to cater to the customers' whims, but also only serves fresh rolls to those who complain.

Just think how they would need one person per table for monitoring conversations.

Nah, that's what keyword listening is for. It's what our phones have been doing for years. Just trigger it for keywords. Still insanely expensive for a random restaurant when literal workers are always in earshot.

ChatGpt could monitor all tables in all restaurants for displeased customers and send alerts. It's a better use than a sexbot or worthless customer service bot

It also feels like it would be difficult to parse individual voices. Sometimes I'll mention how loud it is and my family or friends who are not hard of hearing will be like "ey, agree"
