Here's what a chatbot once wrote about me:

Craig Melville has spent the last few decades traveling the world making people laugh — for brands like Pepsi, Disney, McDonald's, Expedia and Air New Zealand. With 200+ commercials and 120+ episodes of broadcast television, and wins at Cannes, Spikes Asia and the Australian Directors Guild, he's made audiences laugh on every continent. Except Antarctica. Nobody's asked yet..
