That’s because, unlike an AI, I deduced context from the entire thread and concluded that “I hate QR codes” was not an expression of disapproval of the technical concept of a QR code (i.e. encoding data), but how they are used in an obnoxious way to redirect a user to a website (usually with a menu).
I wasn’t sure if the person meant that or fundamentally misunderstood what QR codes where and how they worked. Just wanted to clarify in case it were the latter.
I have an entire useless degree that shows I have tried to understand human fallibility. It just isn’t sinking in. The only thing I’m sure of is that the joke’s on me.
0.o A QR code is basically just a data-encoding format and is mostly used to store a link to something. I’m not sure where ToS/etc. come into that.
You’ll be redirected to a website, and then you’ll get asked to allow cookies, etc.
Cool story but not really qr codes fault

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

This was a tiresome convo to read. Please work on your context clues.

Made an edit for clarity.
QR codes are great, linking me to a website where I need to provide my email and phone number to get food is annoying
