It's called Proxy Ai. It reads your emails so you don't have to. It reads every posts on social media so you don't FOMO. It communicates with those chatty colleagues so you don't have to. Proxy Ai... So you don't have to…
AI or not, cold emailing is dead. I receive tons of these by email and LinkedIn, to the point that I stopped reading them. I talked to many people, and all have developed immunity against the cold outreach.
it's a pure numbers game. even people who think they're immune are 1 highly-targeted, pain-point addressing email from replying.

We need to update our spam filtering techniques, fast. Somehow. But how?
I’m actually thrilled by this, as it means all the hack marketers that spam my inbox incessantly with whatever product they’re hucking - this time for sure perfect for my business, in spite of the fact I’ve ignored their last ten emails - are all out of a job, and good riddance. The author sounds unfamiliar with this brand of marketing email, so I can see why it would come off disquieting to find it’s all AI - but it…

Why are you happy that people are out of a job here? You still suffer the ills of the product, now infinitely more incessant, at a marginal cost of $0.
