Coca-Cola’s AI-Generated Christmas Ad Sparks Debate: Nostalgia or Dystopian Nightmare?

Coca-Cola’s AI-generated Christmas ad has taken the internet by storm, but not without sparking debate. The 15-second spot, which draws inspiration from the brand’s iconic 1995 "Holidays Are Coming" commercial, features bright red trucks carrying Coca-Cola bottles through a snow-covered town decked in festive decorations.

However, the use of generative AI to create the ad has caused a split in opinions, with some calling it a "creepy dystopian nightmare" and others labeling it as a lazy and uninspired move.
