Today has been a lot of fun, mostly because of all the crazy responses I got to yesterday’s email (provided below for your convenience).
Many of you responded with some interesting quotes from people I’ve never heard of.
Some of you asked ChatGPT or some other LLM for the answer. This (surprisingly?) has proven to be a task that is still outside of LLMs’ league — none got it right.
And then, there were a few of you who got it right. Congrats to Ignasi Thio, Gabriel Bradly, Gideon Robert , Martin Mayer, and Lee Duncan for getting it right!
Johan Cruijf had famously said:
“Voetbal is een simpel spelletje, maar simpel voetballen blijkt erg moeilijk”
Just to show you an example of what I was talking about in the Google Ads context: what about automatically pausing your campaigns when your website is down? Simple task, right?
At least, it should be simple. However, how to actually do this within Google Ads isn’t that simple at all.
Seriously… how do you do it?
