Sometimes, unbelievable and random things inspire me. A better way to put it is, "Sometimes the oddest things crack me up." 😂 In this case, it was so funny because I got the best ChatGPT answer and wasn't even trying.
The Inspiration
During a recent edit, I was scrolling through image after image, and one photograph I'd taken "jumped" out at me. I photographed my client's son sitting in a golf cart, winking into the camera while holding a freshly made cocktail. I get it; he was hamming it up for the camera. Winking at the camera works very well in this particular scenario. It is difficult not to smile when you look at the picture because he's just adorable.
I thought, "He could be in a 1970s Seagram's Ad. I'll do a quick ChatGPT search for some ad copy and maybe surprise them."
The Result
I'm still new at using AI as a tool, so I'm sometimes unsure what my prompt should say; I was winging it. I typed out something to see what I'd get.
"Write a campy 1970s gin ad with a reference to golf."
Getting better answers requires more learning. If you need help, this article is excellent, "11 Tips for Better ChatGPT prompts."
So, the result was different from what I was expecting. I was expecting a slogan, and instead, I got a complete script for a very campy commercial. I should have used the word "slogan" instead of "ad" in the prompt.
However, this result was excellent! To my delight, the best ChatGPT answer came up, which had me rolling with laughter. The ad reads so brilliantly that it inspired me to post this blog and create a parody of Logan's photograph.
The Slogan
I made the image look vintage, as if Logan posed for a 1970s Vanity Fair magazine ad. It would look faded, with a yellowish tint and grainy, and probably photographed with a 35mm camera loaded with 400 ASA film.
I still needed a slogan, though. "There has to be a good slogan in this script," I thought. After all, this is the best ChatGPT answer I've ever gotten.
I found one that worked well with this image. Actually, I found many that worked well.
And finally, tell me what you find in the answer below. Do you see a better slogan than I do?

OMG THAT IS HYSTERICAL!!!! 🤣🤣🤣 I’m so offended and terrified as a writer!! For writers everywhere! That AI is BRILLIANT !!!😖😖😖😖😳😳😳😳
Thank you for sharing Sean, I know there are many people who are worried it will “take over the world” or “no one will know if anything is genuine or authentic content” or “peoples work will be plagiarized.” I do believe if it’s used improperly this may be the case in certain situations. The program pulls content from multiple sources and may pick up phrases that have been used before, but the code is not written to plagiarize. It’s meant to be a tool and for those who see it as a tool, the better detailed you get with your prompts the more unique a response you get. And its great at kickstarting any task you can then make your own. I always stress being authentic with my brand and what I write on my website comes from me and what I’ve learned about my craft. For those who abuse it, with anything new over time it will probably get more regulated.
OMG it totally ripped off the name, lol!
