1967 Admiral Color Big Picture TV Easiest Tuning Ever Remote Control Print Ad


    
I liked this ad mainly because of the comparison between the TV's they had in 1967, versus how far we've come since then.  Makes me wonder how different they'll be by 2067?
    Again, I've collaborated with my friend Geppetto (Chat GPT).  It's become apparent, given a similarly-phrased request, GPT will create pretty similar text from one ad to the next.  I originally asked for improved grammar and flow, but the changes were almost unnoticeable.  Next I asked for a friendlier and smoother read.  
    Finally I asked GPT to improve the grammar and flow, making it read easier and friendlier, but to completely re-word the text.  

    The result might be a little over the top... or somewhere off to the side.  But it was fun to see where it wound up.  It makes me think of those old tv commercials.  Especially the "But there's more!" 
Read below and see what you think.  Might not be what I'd write for myself, but it's fun seeing what the AI will do.
