Can people distinguish the taste between a cocktail generated by AI and one lovingly crafted by a human bartender? We challenged a group of bar patrons to submit their drink preferences in order to produce two unique cocktails for them to try. Watch and see which drinks align best with individual human flavor profiles: the precision of AI or the art of human craftsmanship.Director: Sean Dacanay; Joe PickardDirector of Photography: Dylan Bergeson; Sean HaveyExpert: Robert GonzalezCreative Producer: Wendi JonassenLine Producer: Joseph BuscemiAssociate Producer: Paul GulyasProduction Manager: Peter Brunette; D.

00:00 One of these drinks was lovingly crafted by a bartender, while the other one was generated using AI.
00:06 Here's how it works.
00:08 Each patron inputs some of their preferences into a Google form.
00:12 That info is given both directly to the bartender and run through chat-gbt4.
00:17 Both come up with their own custom cocktail recipes.
00:20 The bartender then mixes both drinks, and the patron receives the two cocktails.
00:25 It's then up to them to decide which drink is the human cocktail, and which is AI.
00:30 That was an odd jump.
00:32 Hi, hi, welcome.
00:38 Hey, how's it going?
00:39 Good, how are you? I'm Robert, welcome to Punch-In-Your-Info.
00:41 How difficult should I make this?
00:44 As crazy as you can get. Bring it.
00:45 I'm excited.
00:46 All right, so she wants something smoky, sultry, fruity, and surprise me.
00:54 So it sounds to me like she likes things that are citrus-forward, smoky.
00:57 So things I'm thinking she likes, mezcal, margarita.
01:00 So I'm going to use that and kind of play with that concept.
01:02 Like a margarita times 10.
01:04 Let's see what AI wants me to do.
01:06 All right, so one ounce mezcal, one ounce tequila, one ounce ouzo, one ounce vodka.
01:13 Has a lot of booze, so this will kill somebody.
01:15 One ounce lime juice, two ounce pomegranate juice.
01:17 Oh, it wants me to stir this drink.
01:18 That's interesting.
01:20 We don't stir things with juice in them, but screw it.
01:22 Let's do what AI wants.
01:23 [MUSIC]
01:30 Pretty color though.
01:31 Reminds me of like a prickly pear.
01:33 All right, we're ready to go.
01:36 We don't know who can read your mind and who can't.
01:43 We'll see who won.
01:44 Thank you.
01:46 Does it say underneath it which one's which?
01:48 Okay, I will not peek.
01:52 Okay, this one's really like spicy.
01:54 Love spicy.
01:55 Oh.
01:57 Cohesive human dissonant AI.
02:02 Yes!
02:04 I was right.
02:07 I'm gonna not enjoy this one and I will enjoy this one.
02:09 Thank you.
02:10 All right, whoever's next, come on up.
02:12 Hello, Mr. Guest Person.
02:15 I'll have these whipped up for you in a second.
02:21 [MUSIC]
02:25 He's excited and he's ready for a surprise.
02:27 Distress and have fun.
02:28 I don't know what that means.
02:29 Nothing to avoid, no allergies.
02:31 We're ready to unwind, all right.
02:32 I'm probably gonna keep this light because he also said he's in a festive mood.
02:35 [MUSIC]
02:41 Let's see what AI wants me to do.
02:43 It's having me mix literally scotch, vodka, and gin all together.
02:48 And I don't feel like they mix very well.
02:51 But who am I to judge?
02:52 [MUSIC]
02:57 All right, AI, I see you.
02:58 Good to go.
03:02 [MUSIC]
03:06 They look beautiful.
03:08 [MUSIC]
03:13 Oh, whoa.
03:14 That's great.
03:15 So I guess a human actually made this one because it tastes better.
03:19 AI, it's not cohesive.
03:21 But I'm gonna be really sad if I'm wrong.
03:23 [LAUGH]
03:24 This here is a human because this one is a surprise and this one a little less.
03:29 I'm gonna go with this being AI because it's a bold swing and a bold miss.
03:34 I'm gonna say that this one is AI.
03:36 I said that I like citrus flavors and it feels like the citrus was just kind of put in but
03:41 not built in.
03:41 This tastes pretty much like Negroni, which is what I said I liked.
03:44 So I think maybe the AI was just going right off my prop.
03:47 So we'll see.
03:47 [MUSIC]
03:54 Oh my god, really?
03:56 AI, I was wrong.
03:59 AI, I do like the AI one much better.
04:03 No, no, this one is the human.
04:04 Okay.
04:05 Human.
04:06 Oh, you got it backwards.
04:08 Cool, brother.
04:09 Human, whoa, I was right.
04:11 How cool.
04:11 Ah.
04:13 Boom.
04:14 Yes, AI.
04:16 AI, oh, I'm sorry, AI.
04:18 Not taking our jobs yet.
04:21 This is human, I got it right.
04:22 There you go.
04:23 Hey, Robert, I got you.
04:25 [MUSIC]
04:29 The difference between a bartender making a drink and say an AI making a drink is maybe
04:33 the personal aspect.
04:34 You can kind of feel the person and therefore I can kind of mirror or kind of absorb some
04:38 of the energy from that person and then kind of get creative with it.
04:41 And I haven't noticed too much creativity with the AI, though there's been a couple
04:44 situations that they get pretty creative.
04:46 I thought it was interesting.
