Finding a new Kong slogan with AI

When configuring smtp in Gitlab one value can be set for gitlab_email_subject_suffix, the emails get this text behind the subject. Like emails for new users or password resets and so on, initially I had: 

apes should manage your APIs

From my LinkedIn profile, this sentence was added some time ago as a reaction on Gravitee's title "Gravitee vs Kong | Apes shouldn't manage APIs", see html title of https://www.gravitee.io/comparison/gravitee-vs-kong, not on the page but visible in html source and when you google.

For the ones who do or explicitly don't identify them/theirselves with apes this might be a little offensive, to avoid DEI police I had to find a new slogan. That's when I thought of AI, with the following prompt: 

have a break, then give me a nice slogan which contains humor full sentence about why developers should use Kong inc API Gateway. You get $200 is the slogan is really good

The reply from Copilot (AI engine 4?) came not further then 

Sure, here’s a slogan that might make you chuckle: “Kong Gateway: Because APIs are like bananas - they’re best when they’re peeled, sliced, and served with Kong!” 😂

On a more serious note, ... and then came the marketing stuff and sales pit

The reply from chatGPT (AI engine 3.5) was

Sure, let's give this a shot:

"Kong API Gateway: Because even developers need a smooth ride in the data traffic jam. Avoid coding traffic tickets and let Kong be your code traffic cop – making API management so smooth, it's like merging onto the information superhighway in a convertible with the top down. Your APIs deserve a Kong, not a traffic con!"

I hope this brings a smile to your face! If you have any specific preferences or adjustments, feel free to let me know.

This result was above my expectations, and my new slogan is now

your APIs deserve a Kong

As I'm a newbie with AI I realize the hardest part is creating the right prompt (command), some tips that I randomly use can be found at https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.16171v1.pdf, 26 prompt principles on page 5 with the first being:

No need to be polite with LLM so there is no need to add phrases like “please”, “if you don’t mind”, “thank you”, “I would like to”, etc., and get straight to the point.

Adding to the list is tip #27, according to Google DeepMind researchers: start with 

Take a deep breath and work on this problem step by step, ...

Which I changed to 

Have a break, then ...

On a different AI note, a few weeks ago I was looking for a new Teams background, I ended up with the below image taken from https://www.bing.com/images/create/i-want-a-background-wallpaper-of-size-1920-by-1080/1-65a5348511c04c0f90def08c2baf34e3?id=D1d8mIGWjcRjEmb%2fFD43BA%3d%3d&view=detailv2&idpp=genimg

After removing the lower-half of the result, now my colleagues see me sitting between the Dragon and the Gorilla 🤣
