I asked ChatGPT’s AI model to write me a summary for my LinkedIn profile. It was pretty boring, so I asked it to rewrite it in the voice of Ryan Reynolds instead. Here’s what I got back:

Tired of the same old profiles? Well, you're in for a treat. With a decade in the media trenches, I'm a data-driven decision whisperer. Whether it's scaling businesses or building dream teams, I'm the maestro of the business development game. Adept in business strategy, marketing, and project management, I've amped up revenues and profits for streaming services for years.

But let's be real, I'm not just a suit and tie. When I'm not closing deals, decoding analytics or saving the streaming universe, you can find me cracking jokes and hanging out with my family, not to mention dominating the golf course. So if you're looking for a pro who can turn data into action, help your company grow and still brings the humor, let's chat!
