McDonald’s: As terrible as their food is, people seem to buy it. Unequaled footprint, not vulnerable to AI disruption.
It's a good list! But I wonder if this one might be somewhat susceptible to AI/related technologies. For example, what if someone came up with vehicles that drives around and make burgers and assembles them nicely and also makes fries. The customers place their orders and some sort of AI optimizes the vehicle routes to deliver a "fresh" (made within 3-5 minutes let's say) to your location. If the density of burger orders is high enough, the vehicles could do this very efficiently when intelligently routed. The people seem to really like food delivery!
