How long do you think it will be until most fast food jobs are automated? I know its been speeding up recently.

The general trend of technology makes it seem like that trend will continue.  I can’t say exactly when a given job will be automated though.

I'm seeing more and more places replace cashiers with machines. I assume they will also replace the cooks with machines soon as well.

It’s likely that certain operations will always require human oversight.  I think it’s likely that McDonald's will still need cooks in the future, for example.

I'm not sure. I feel like technology will replace most, if not all, fast food jobs in the near future.

I don't know if that's true, but if so, it won't happen in the near future.  If I look at the increasing pace of technology that has occurred over the last few years, I expect to see more technology in the future, but not complete automation of fast food operations.  But I have no way of knowing the timing of that.  The phrase “I have no idea” applies, but it’s interesting to think about!

The trend right now is that computers are replacing humans at more jobs.  If the trend continues, then fast food jobs should eventually be automated.
