Give it a little thought. For a child's fan letter, the kind of suggestion that the LLM gave was still not useful at all, especially as a suggestion on how to start.
A fan letter from a child doesn't need to be correct in grammar or in spelling. On the other hand, it needs to talk about events that the child has experienced that the LLM will have no knowledge at all. So consider something like "I see you run on YouTube and my dad says that you run very fast. I want to be a runner just like you."
The experiences "see you run on YouTube" and "my dad says you run very fast" are crucial pieces of evidence that support the existence of that aspiration that the letter is meant to communicate, but the LLM has no knowledge of these experiences with the uninformative prompt shown in the ad.
I suppose that in the best case scenario, the LLM will give the prompter the feedback and reflection that I mentioned here, something like "think about why you want to write a fan letter, and what experiences led to that desire. These can help you write a good fan letter, and tell me about those experiences."
Ironically, the kind of reply the ad gave is the kind of reply you want if you want if you had to write vapid polite platitudes that you don't mean all the time, which perhaps reflects the milieu Google and the ad agency producing this operate in.
