Drinking With Robots
Drinking With Robots challenges human bartenders to outmix AI in crafting the perfect cocktail. Each episode features a head-to-head battle: both sides create drinks from the same timely prompt, judged for taste, presentation, and originality. Then, we dive into a one-on-one with the bartender to uncover their story.
