Drinking With Robots
Drinking With Robots pits human vs AI in a quest to make the better beverage based on a timely and topical prompt. In every episode our human bartender, and the AI, are given the same prompt and provide cocktail specs which are then taste tested by our judge to decide on the winner. We then sit down with our human bartender to learn more about them!
