I’ve been testing the chatbot creation tool for the past month and decided that my specific need is a unicorn that recommends cocktail recipes. Making it work involved some trial and error. OpenAI’s GPT editor is itself largely a chatbot. I used it to give my bot some rules, and another tab let me toggle settings, such as whether the chatbot should be able to browse the web. I chose a name, [Cocktail Unicorn](, and set up a welcome message: “Stirring up magic, one drink at a time!” I added sample prompts the bot will show users, like, “What are unicorns drinking today?” and, “What’s a great non-alcoholic unicorn drink?” I instructed the chatbot on the appropriate tone to strike with users and the kinds of drinks to suggest. I used Dall-E 3 to generate an avatar of a unicorn in a lush forest balancing a cocktail on one hoof. Eventually, I figured out how to create some fairly complicated rules. In addition to suggesting fanciful drink recipes, the chatbot can now identify whether a unicorn might be lurking nearby. Unicorns, I decided, like warm, sunny climates. If a user asks about the presence of a unicorn, the chatbot asks where the user is located and uses the internet to look up the current weather in that location. It then offers a unique name, biography and cartoon-style image of each unicorn it detects. The real test is how good the drinks are, however. I noticed a few things: It didn’t always stick to the rules I set, and it seemed to suggest an unusual number of cocktails that are blue, creamy and contain garnishes like edible glitter and cotton candy.

Photographer: Rachel Metz/Bloomberg I stocked up on ingredients — coconut cream, blue curacao, sparkling water and even the glitter and cotton candy — and pulled out my cocktail shaker. While the recipes sounded good (or at least intriguing), most of them tasted awful. As I’ve found with some other applications of large language models such as ChatGPT, Cocktail Unicorn is skilled at confidently mimicking the steps to make a drink but doesn’t really understand the proper ratios of ingredients, particularly for drinks that contain alcohol. The first one I tried was a fruity unicorn rum cocktail that included passion fruit liqueur, rum and lime juice. Though Cocktail Unicorn walked me through how to create an ombre effect with the back of a spoon to layer different colored liquids in my glass, the drink ended up looking like dishwater and tasted like cough syrup. A Hanukkah-themed drink, a similar blue and sparkly rum punch, was a dud, too. The combination of rum, blue curacao, coconut cream and pineapple juice sounded appealing but tasted like sugary, creamy sludge. There was one bright spot: a non-alcoholic drink called a sunrise unicorn fizz that combined grapefruit and orange juices, grenadine, fizzy water and edible shimmer. I topped it with cotton candy and gave it to my kids; they rated it a 9.5 out of 10 on the mocktail scale.
