Advertising copy is likely overrepresented in the general corpus of texts from the Internet that most LLMs are trained on. Plus, it isn't a genre where truth matters all that much. It's intentionally vague and cliché-riddled even when humans are writing it. So it's something that I'd expect LLMs to be pretty good at creating.

If you asked me "what job is most likely to be replaced by a computer program which generates plausible and convincing text and media, regardless of their agreement with reality", my number 1 answer probably would be "marketing".
