Would it be interesting if they used a female for the role in a reshoot of this GE ad?

No.  It would be boring and predictable.  The forcing of identity politics into advertisements and all aspects of mainstream media has rendered political correctness to be passé and boring and patronizing.  Blah!! 

Strong White men are going to be the new role models once again.  And railing against cancel culture by NOT apologizing is going to be the fame making move.  We are living right at the apex of a similar social change that occurred in the 1960's.  Musicians should be like the Rolling Stones rather than the clean cut safe bands.  Comedians should be like Lenny Bruce and not like the safe comedians that do corporate gigs.  Position yourself NOW for the future.

Not at all.  Women (along with blacks) are overrepresented as victims on television and in the media.  The use of a White male for that part is far more inclusive and shows diversity.
