Pro tip: I spent $200 on an AI that writes my ad copy and it tried to sell a toaster to a ghost
I bought this tool that promised to generate perfect Facebook ads, and for my first test I asked it to write copy for a new line of high-end kitchen gadgets. The headline it gave me was 'Finally, a toaster that understands your spectral needs' and the body text was all about crispy bread for the afterlife. Has anyone else had an AI marketing tool just completely lose the plot like that?

Honestly the real problem is these tools don't understand context at all. It just grabs words it thinks are fancy. You said "high-end" and "gadgets" so it probably linked "high-end" to luxury and "gadgets" to tech, then threw in "spectral" because it sounds science-y and expensive. It's not trying to sell to ghosts, it's just mashing together buzzwords with no real meaning.

My friend used one for her cat toy shop and it suggested targeting "empty nesters looking for feline fulfillment." She sells feather wands, not therapy. The algorithm saw "cat" and "home" and went straight to sad people with no kids. It's like they only understand words in the most literal, weird way possible.
