> One of the difficulties of public relations is communicating to multiple audiences at once.

Why not just release multiple statements and links?

"Click here for customized PR statement if you are a open source developer"

"Click here for customized PR statement if you are a closed source developer"

"Click here for customized PR statement if you are an executive who can't code"

"Click here for customized PR statement if you are a billionaire who invested in Docker but secretly don't know what it is"

etc.

Is that a serious suggestion? Who on earth would take the time to look through all of those to see which one best fits them? Companies have enough trouble getting press releases read already.

I guess then you could use some heuristics and ChatGPT to tailor the press release to the particular viewer.

For example if the user has a screen resolution of three 4K monitors side by side, using Linux, and coming from a Silicon Valley IP address, they are probably a developer. If they have the screen resolution of an iPad Pro and a New York IP address they are probably an executive on the go. The HTML5 accelerometer API might also say something about whether they're reading your press release in bed, while sitting, or standing. Use ChatGPT to reword the press release appropriately.

This is a genuinely terrifying vision of the future. Already things like prices may differ based one’s location. Adding content writing AI to the mix is positively dystopian.

That could be a more effective approach.

What if you are a "closed source developer" at work but an open-source one during your free time? What if you are a billionaire codes? What if… etc. You could make TL;DR's targeted at specific audiences, but you still need the same introduction for everyone.
