# Coca-Cola’s AI Holiday Ad: A Recipe for Disappointment

Their latest holiday ad, generated by AI, has been likened to that awkward relative who insists on showing off their latest dance moves at family gatherings—painfully uninspired and secretly making everyone cringe.

Visual Description: An AI robot pirate stands at the helm of a sleek, futuristic ship, navigating turbulent, digital ocean waves that shimmer with bright neon colors. The robot features metallic textures, glowing LED eyes, and wearables inspired by vintage pirate attire. Surrounding the ship are holographic images of frustrated viewers expressing their discontent, with emoji-like faces and pixelated speech bubbles.
