The prompt

"Act like you're the best social media ad expert and create the perfect ad that converts to instant sales..."

I still see variations of this everywhere:

* "Act like the best copywriter"
* "You are a world-class marketer"
* "Pretend you're a $10M agency owner"

But with how much models have evolved, I’m starting to question whether this actually *improves* output anymore... or if it's just legacy prompt cargo culting.

In your experience:

* Does assigning a “role” like this still meaningfully change results?
* Or are we better off with more concrete constraints (audience, offer, tone, structure, examples)?
* Have you tested role-based prompts vs. direct instruction prompts?

Curious what’s actually working for people right now, especially for high-conversion ad copy.

Would love to see real comparisons if you’ve got them.
