Coca-Cola criticized for AI-made ad

Coca-Cola is under criticisms after releasing a Christmas commercial made through AI.

Some critics argue that it lacks creativity, drawing on imagery from a 1995 Coca-Cola advertisement.

The video features AI-generated scenes including Coca-Cola trucks and snowy streets.

It was developed by AI studios Secret Level, Silverside AI, and Wild Card using generative AI models.

However, Silverside AI stated that the viral version was not its creation.
