Axelrad bar in Houston has collaborated with AI language generator ChatGPT to create a menu of AI-generated drinks. Four bot-made beverages will compete against four similar drinks made by human bartenders on the 'Humans vs. Machines' menu. Customers can vote for their favorite drink by ordering half portions of each. At the end of the month, the winning team — whether human or machine — earns bragging rights and permanent placement on the menu. Owner Adam Brackman came up with the idea for AI-generated cocktails after seeing ChatGPT being used in a variety of fields and thinking it could create a cocktail. Make a spicy mocktail or a Legend of Zelda-inspired drink were among the prompts given to ChatGPT. The winning team will be determined by popular vote, though AI will never replace true, in-person hospitality, according to Brackman.
