AI-generated woman has to start advertising something for the people who created it to earn money

[Tony_M]

Hello.

AI helps create a huge number of fake Instagram accounts. Usually, con artists task it with rendering pictures of a beautiful woman that attract a lot of male users. When a desired number of subscribers is reached, this stunning AI-generated woman has to start advertising something for the people who created it to earn money. (Source: These sentences are mine)

Is the part in bold grammatically correct?

Thank you

Add 'in order'.

in order for the people who created it to earn money

 

[Tony_M]

Add 'in order'.

in order for the people who created it to earn money

Does it work without "in order"?

 

[jutfrank]

It works, but that doesn't help you much to know that. Things can work well, and they can work badly, right? What's the point of asking whether something 'works'? I can eat ice cream with a fork. The aim should be to know what works best.

I assumed you were asking us to improve your sentence.

It really helps when I know a few options. When I speak, I can use the shorter version. When I write something, I can use your version.

in order that the people who created it could earn money
so that the people who created it could earn money

Are these option not too shabby as well?

 

[jutfrank]

When I speak, I can use the shorter version. When I write something, I can use your version.

Why would you do this? Why the difference? Why not just use the best way?

in order that the people who created it could earn money
so that the people who created it could earn money

Are these option not too shabby as well?

No, they're pretty shabby. You've used the wrong modal verb. Change that and I'll let you get away with not saying what I'm telling you to say.

I knew you'd say I'd have to use "will".

 

[jutfrank]

Or can.

I'm happy you feel you have options, Tony.

 

[Tony_M]

I'm happy you feel you have options, Tony.

I might be delusional as to what I have.

 

[emsr2d2]

I'm happy with simply "for" in the original.

You have to do A for B to work.
I need to have X for Y to be true.

 

[Tony_M]

I'm happy with simply "for" in the original.

You have to do A for B to work.
I need to have X for Y to be true.

Thank you, @emsr2d2.
Would something like this sound natural?

- If you want to be popular, I need to have unusual appearance for people to notice you.

No. Why have you used "I need" when the rest of the sentence is about "you"?

 

[Tony_M]

No. Why have you used "I need" when the rest of the sentence is about "you"?

Sorry, it was supposed to be "you".
- If you want to be popular, you need to have unusual appearance for people to notice you.

 

[emsr2d2]

You're trying to cram too many ideas into one sentence. People noticing you doesn't necessarily make you popular.

If you want people to notice you, you need to have a unique look.
If you want to be popular, you have to be nice to people.

Or this one?
You need to have unusual appearance for people to notice you.

 

[emsr2d2]

Or What about this one?
You need to have an unusual appearance for people to notice you.

With my correction, it's grammatically correct.

 

[Tony_M]

With my correction, it's grammatically correct.

Why is "appearance" countable?

 

[emsr2d2]

Because you're talking about the specific appearance of the person in question - the one who wants to get noticed.
