gpt does a lot more than slogans...

currently using it like driving a junior programmer.

after gpt has written some functions to my specs in natural language. I can say for example: - "add unit tests". It writes for all functions tests. Not perfect but not bad for short instruction like this. - rewrite x to include y etc

the original post way back was talking about marketing, they were underwhelmed. I recently generated some slogans. They sucked.

When someone mentioned predictability/accuracy how does that apply to marketing slogans. I know how it applies to writing unit tests. The unit tests writing comes pretty close to the original posters definition of GPT as filling out templates. The sucky slogans I got were also very template like.

Would accuracy be if slogans did not suck?

At any rate there seems to be a lot of things people want to use it for where the terms accuracy / predictability don't make much sense. So making claims based on those qualities naturally causes me to ask how do they apply to all these cases - such as slogan generation where accuracy predictability are not normally metrics that apply.
