A woman who goes by Abby, known on TikTok as @yappyabbyy, claims she was told she had been hired at Taco Bell through an automated AI messaging system, only to be turned away when she showed up on what she believed was her first day of work. Her TikTok video, in which she recounts the experience, has since gathered over 2.1 million views.
According to Abby, after her interview with Taco Bell, an AI bot, which she referred to as “AI Bella”, sent her a message saying she had been hired. The bot allegedly told her she had gotten the job, gave her a start date of July 1st, asked her to fill out some information, and said a manager would contact her shortly.
