Many office employees get advice and guidance from machines with high frequency. However, they usually come through screens - not earpieces. Earpieces are an inferior message delivery system for most kinds of machine-originated messages - through being too invasive, and having poor bandwidth - compared to vision.
Indeed. In fact, the main advantage earpieces have over visual systems when it comes to the delivery of artificial information sources is the fact that it frees up the visual system for other purposes. (Like steering, for example.)
If we're imagining the very cheapest employees in a dystopian future burger joint, ability to read English might rule out a lot of foreign/older (vision)/uneducated/dyslexic people. People? I mean, human resources.
