AI will take over the world. We're fucked.
This is the most boilerplate lack of substance bullshit I’ve ever read. It sounds like a lifeless cog and even if you were an alumni of my school or something I’d ignore. Gotta remember a human still has to read this shit as it comes through
Once again, AI gives us the opportunity to upskill, perhaps move faster - but it will never fully replace even these small tasks.
TBH pretty good emails
Notice how every paragraph starts with „I“… don‘t do this
Too fucking long and soulless
It's coherent but I've read very similar templates (especially the 1st one) on WSO that people roasted the fuck out of for being generic. I wonder if you fed the AI more samples it'll make a more advanced version that you can pass off as something an industry professional would write
I could see cold-calling rising in popularity again. I'm overwhelmed by my inbox - last thing I need is to read AI emails.
Way too long
Above emails are pretty bad in general. For any prospects out there, be very straightforward and concise. We all can smell BS a mile away. Below is a short, concise email that does not waste AN/ASO time. Last thing I want while shifting through +100 emails is three paragraphs of motivational BS.

isn't this too forward / potentially disrespectful? Almost comes across as entitled
