Ran 3 AI ad variants for a week and one flopped hard

Last Monday I set up three different AI generated ad copies for a client's coffee subscription box, targeting the same audience. By Thursday, one version had a 4% click rate while another barely hit 0.2% - the difference was just how I phrased the intro question. I spent Saturday digging into why the flop tanked and found the AI used too many product features instead of benefits. Has anyone else seen this split where small wording changes kill performance?

Noticed the same thing with how people talk about restaurants... say "fresh bread" versus "baked in-house daily" and suddenly everyone cares. Small words change how people see the whole thing. Guess it's the same with ads, people feel the benefit before they read the details.
