00:00These ice cream coins are serving up a recipe made with the help of chat GPT,

00:05white chocolate with berry sauce, caramelised black pepper and balsamic vinegar.

00:12Obviously this set of slightly particular tastes is very intriguing.

00:16I must honestly say that neither of us would have thought of caramelised black pepper, for example.

00:22The frontiers of creativity have broadened.

00:25Two owners of Terra ice cream store in Milan have gone against the grain of the Italian tradition

00:30of selectively passing recipes down through generations

00:33and instead turned to artificial intelligence to create new flavours.

00:38But what could have been controversial among its customers has turned out to be a hit.

00:44I usually don't like white chocolate because it's generally very sweet,

00:48but I must say this is very balanced.

00:51Their success makes a case for the great global AI experiment

00:55that it can sometimes be used innovatively to benefit employees

00:59and not always at the expense of jobs.

01:02An issue which has not yet proved as pressing as feared.

01:05Last month the White House Council of Economic Advisers released a report

01:09saying it continues to find little evidence that AI will negatively impact overall employment.

01:14While ice cream makers may not be high on the list of jobs that are vulnerable to AI,

01:19these Terra owners have figured out how to maximise it for creativity.

01:24Currently, ChatGPT is not able to balance a recipe,

01:27so for the moment I think that my role is still fundamental in the creation of ice cream.

01:33They say that what they can take from ChatGPT is ideas,

01:37and it is up to them what they create out of its suggestions.
