I was doing groceries the other day and ended up looking at a new CocaCola flavor said to be generated by AI.

Looks to me like AI is just the new buzzword that replaced crypto and NFT and we will just see more of it for a few months until it calms down.



I saw that too, and it didn't really make sense to me in the sense that food is complicated.

It needs to have the right ingredients in the right amounts to not spoil too quickly, to taste decent, to pass health regulations, etc.

Coca Cola knew exactly what ingredients were available. So what role did the AI play besides being a glorified list.random()? That humans then used as a starting point to turn into an actual drink?


"Generated by dart thrown at wall" doesn't quite have the same ring to it though it is effectively the digital version of that.
