AI is replacing entry-level work, but entry-level work is how people become experts. What happens when nobody gets to learn?

Like before, if I had a problem, I’d sit with it, Google around, piece things together, maybe get it wrong first.

Now it’s just: ask ChatGPT, get answer, move on.

Way faster, obviously. But I wonder if we’re losing something there.

Been running ChatGPT Ads for about a week now. Still no event conversions yet, so definitely too early to call it a success or failure, but I’ve picked up two things that might help others testing.

1. Context hints were too detailed at first.

My first setup was super comprehensive — I included age, gender, industries, business types, pain points, and even a long list of possible questions users might ask. Probably around 1,000 words.

The result? Almost no delivery.

I’m guessing I over-constrained the model.

So I simplified it heavily. Cut it down to a few hundred words, removed most demographic restrictions (age/gender), and kept it more focused on business type + intent + use cases.

After that, delivery started almost immediately and my full $25/day budget began spending consistently.

2. Personal/professional photos outperform logos by a lot.

This one surprised me.

At first I used company logos and service graphics — CTR was around 0.5%.

Then I swapped in professional headshots / personal brand style images and CTR jumped to around 5%.

Huge difference.

My guess is that in a conversational environment like ChatGPT, human faces build trust faster and feel more native than brand creatives.

Still very early, and no conversion events yet, but thought I’d share in case it helps others testing.

Curious what others are seeing so far?

I recently started testing OpenAI Ads for one of my campaigns and still very early in the learning phase. Setup was pretty straightforward, but I’m curious about real-world performance from others here.
So far I’m treating it as an experiment, but would love to hear if anyone has seen meaningful results or if it’s still too early.
