Counterfactuals are important. In this case, the counterfactual to ChatGPT is probably a 22 year old who recently read (skimmed?) the Wikipedia article about your firm.

I liked 2008's "Obama kids get a puppy" version much much more.
2024 election has been strangely fixated on human-animal relationships:.*Noem puppy murder.*Vance/childless cat ladies.*Multiple RFK Jr news cycles (alleged dog-eating; Central Park bear; bizarre whale story).*Trump/Vance lies about immigrants eating pets. Am I forgetting any?.
