I have so many questions, none of which are answered by the article. Was the flavor really picked by an AI? If so, how did they train the AI? What kind of AI was this? What other flavors did it come up with? Did they try a bunch of them and this was the best one they could get?

This whole thing just screams marketing stunt to me, and not a particularly good one. I can't wait for this whole AI thing to just die out already. How is it that every tech fad seems to somehow end up being even dumber than the previous one (although I think the whole NFT thing might have set a new low bar)?

They probably trained it using data from their Coca-Cola freestyle dispensers if you’ve used one. That’s my guess.

People like Vanilla and people like Grape, so here's Vanilla-Grape by CokeAI!

Sounds horrifyingly plausible.

Yeah sounds like a Purple Cow, I’d be all over that
