COCA COLA

Coca-Cola Gets Futuristic with New AI-Created Soda Flavor

Coca-Cola is embracing artificial intelligence in an unexpected way - by using it to create a brand new soda flavor. The company just announced the limited-edition release of Y3000, a soda "from the future" that was co-created by an AI system.

Details: 

• Y3000 is described as having a raspberry slushy-like taste. Coca-Cola hasn't released the full flavor profile yet, but testers say it's a refreshing, fruity drink.

• Coke fed consumer flavor preference data into a proprietary AI system to analyze trends and predict what "the future tastes like." The AI then helped formulate the new flavor profile.

• Even the funky packaging was AI-generated. The slim cans have a neon-purple, beachy vibe with artwork created using AI image generation.

• Y3000 is available for a limited time in regular and zero sugar varieties.

So is this new AI-powered flavor just a gimmick or the real deal? We'll have to crack open a can and taste for ourselves! But Y3000 certainly has people talking.

Apple Opts for Intuitive AI Over Generative AI

Apple is taking a different approach to AI than some other tech companies. Apple is incorporating AI in subtle ways that enhance core user experiences. For example, new voice isolation, camera upgrades, and smart text recommendations utilize AI to improve phone calls, photography, and typing - everyday tasks people regularly do on their devices. While splashy generative AI grabs headlines, Apple's low-key helpful AI may better serve average users' needs.
