Happy New Year from CaffeinAIted Marketing!
In this episode, we talk about the advances in Generative AI that have transformed content creation for marketers this year, and the things you can expect to see continue to transform our work in 2025.
For a little bit of fun, here is the prompt I built to design a New Year’s Cocktail, and the results I got from Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft copilot
My Prompt:
Generate ideas for a festive new year's cocktail recipe. Include champagne and edible glitter for a celebratory touch. Make sure it's not too sweet and that it won't give me a hangover. Include an option for a mocktail for the designated driver or kids at a party. Give it a fun name, and include the list of ingredients, mixing instructions and a fun description. Don't use alliteration in the name, it drives me crazy!
Claude’s recipe:
I'll create a festive cocktail that's both elegant and balanced, with a mocktail option.

Serve immediately after preparation to capture the maximum effervescence and sparkling effect. The edible glitter should be sprinkled just before serving for the most dramatic presentation.
