AI Vending Machine? Do we need this?

Just been sent a link to a (promotional?) post on LinkedIn about an AI controlled vending machine. So I'm fascinated with AI and how it will change our lives, but as some of the comments say, vending machines were already 'automated'! But. Maybe a full AI Agent running the Vending machine isn't such a bad idea. Imagine this scenario. You walk to the vending machine and it talks to you - conversation is something like: You: I'd like a skinny latte please. AI Vending Machine: I think you mean "Triple Espresso with a dash of Red bull"? You: No, skinny latte. It's 4:30pm on Friday.
