Replace "Them" with "Coworker" and the point of linking to the site is instantly understood (a LMGTFY-style shaming with a dash of humor to soften the blow) With "Them" I wasn't sure if you meant the AI companies, some dude I didn't recognize in the avatar, scammers, coworkers, etc...
I swear most executives can barely read so you're not doing your career any favors sending them more than 150 characters.
Made it much easier to read and you could just reply with:
