I’m so irritated by the constant emails I get as part of automated drip marketing campaigns. Many of them start with outright falsehoods (“I tried calling you”, “I spoke to one of your colleagues”, etc.) and they almost all pretend like they have not added me to a drip marketing campaign, ie they act like it’s a fully personalized email. Newer ones include clearly AI-generated summaries pulled from my online presence (“I see that you graduated from X college”, etc.) It’s so fundamentally dishonest. Why would I enter into a commercial relationship with you if our first interaction is you misrepresenting yourself or worse, outright lying to me?
