That's just not true. You shouldn't take offense to this at all. People have busy schedules.

Almost no one has too busy of a schedule to not squeeze in a 30-60 minute conversation over coffee within a month.

If I ask someone to coffee and their response is, next month? I’d take it as a clear signal that the content of our conversation or our relationship is not important.

I don’t think it is offensive.

I think it is that “next month” is probably an indication of importance and “next month” will be busy too / the importance of a message you want an AI to spam back… still not important.

Also, "coffee" is like the most generic thing someone could ask for. The more generic the ask, the harder to schedule.
