The 15-second ad features red trucks delivering cola in a festive town, but fans feel it lacks the emotional warmth of previous campaigns. The ad, created using Coca-Cola's AI software, has sparked backlash on social media, with users expressing disappointment over the use of AI in holiday advertising. Comments include concerns about the impact of AI on art and creativity. Coca-Cola's team argues that the use of AI allows for faster production and more variety in advertising. They maintain that human creativity still plays a role in the process, despite the negative reactions from some fans.
