#2That was just cold email, so the authors could have probably ignored it
I doubt anyone on the other end will read their reply
Even if they do, it is unlikely that they will stop sending their AI spam outreach
This is just the normal state of the web now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

yes, but then they couldn't have blogged about it

#4> most artists love their work and do not want to outsource their passion to a machine that does this for them.
This was the money quote.
I love what I do (which tends to be programming, but I approach it as a craft), and often do things by hand, that others automate, because I love my work, and also the people that use it.

I think you're missing the point, it doesn't matter if it was spam or not - The point is that automating creativity is not a useful way of facilitating content creation. We should be automating the tedious behind-the-scenes stuff.

Maybe some people will be shamed that they’re not only spammers but spammers whose product may as well be a machine that automates the consumption and enjoyment of ice cream?
