AI can now place a digital Coca-Cola next to any meal

 

The drinks giant has revealed it will start incorporating AI into its global ad campaigns

 

Coca-Cola has announced a partnership with ad agency WPP to incorporate AI from Nvidia into its global ad campaigns, Digital Trends reported.

New Instagram feature lets you create an AI version of yourself

 

Instagram owner Meta has created a step-by-step guide to help you bring your AI character to life

Wiim Ultra in-depth review: spectacular streamer

 

'Wiim's new flagship streamer is stunning to look at and listen to. Only its lack of AirPlay keeps it from perfection’

 

Digital Trends’ hands-on review of the Wiim Ultra network music streamer lauded it for its gorgeous design, excellent sound quality, numerous inputs and outputs, integrated headphone jack, and fun and useful touchscreen. Its mobile app hits the spot, too.

There are drawbacks with this $329 device, but not many. Absence of Apple AirPlay support, for example, is a disappointment, and there’s no computer audio connection, either. HDMI audio also needs improvement.

Digital Trends describes the Wiim Ultra as “beautiful, brimming with features, and priced within reach.” Dive into the full review for all of the details ...
