If your complaints about AI are largely about the industrial energy use, the poor quality of service, and the displacement of human labor, wasting more CPU time doesn't seem like a viable or useful protest. The lesson Burger King would take away from your DDoS protest isn't that they should provide better customer service, but that they shouldn't provide any customer service. You'd be giving them free cover to blame consumers for making customer service too expensive.
I've interacted with some anti-AI people who genuinely would prefer the "no customer service" world to even a "good AI customer service" world. They're a small minority, sure, but this sort of attack wouldn't need a huge group.
Why would Burger King's competitors leave such an obvious competitive edge on the table?
