JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:

They're peas with AI!

Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?

LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine

LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!

Shut up

to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
