Well, that's a first.
An enterpreneur who I met at a cafe a while back and was a nice guy and said we'd follow up perhaps just sent me an AI-genereated pitch.
This wiped out the personal connection I had in my mind with this person.
How do people not realize AI does this?
Many users objected to AI-generated pitches as they kill personal connection and authenticity by outsourcing effort, appearing lazy, brainwashed, or disrespectful.
This was my response
This person asked for someting, which I would have considered helping with, but then I saw it's all AI. That personal meeting down the drain, this is now a cold contact, or even colder to be honest
How someone ended the brief but positive personal relationship we had. I don't meet all that many people in-person, but the ones I do, I try to prioritize later on, as I would have done with this person.
Sending an AI-written email is the best way to burn any personal connection
@vaibhavrsharma This reply is an AI reply from an AI reply account, spamming X with such replies.
Peak irony.
Blocked.
it's laziness, and lack of any form of emotional intelligence or any business sense
this person wanted to do business. I would have been inclined - but not as soon as I saw the blatant AI, making it clear they outsource their comms to AI
if you do the same, expect the same results
@GergelyOrosz Surprisingly, there are some people who think that AI can write texts better than them. It's not laziness, it's the opposite – a lack of confidence. When I write important emails as a non-native speaker, I pass them through the AI to proofread, so that may be the case.
@GergelyOrosz I have had the same thing happen twice recently - people requesting my time (one speaking engagement, one advisory position) with obviously-AI emails. When you get a lot of requests, "you couldn't be bothered to write the email yourself" is an easy "no" filter for me to apply.
@GergelyOrosz Because they got brainwashed they gotta use AI for everything, 24/7 or they will be permanent underclass. Says a lot when people can't even spend time with their family without prompting on their phone whole time.
@GergelyOrosz I completely agree. Feels lazy and completely destroys them.
@n_wittensleger Peak irony that your whole account is an AI slop reply account, dishing out AI replies every minute
I will assume founders working with you hire an AI bot. WTH

@drgurner yeah I am not responding to anyone from this person, even after they apologized
they showed how little they care about a personal connection (that is not easy to have!)
@darin_gordon why are you assuming I send templated emails? This is your mistake.
If I ever want something important, I never sent anything templated or anything AI. Doing so is the equivalent of not giving a damn
@GergelyOrosz Blocking AI slop replies on sight is the right call. The irony is that most people using AI to write replies are trying to build relationships faster. But the shortcut kills the thing they are trying to build. Genuine replies take 30 seconds more and compound for months.
@GergelyOrosz was it the em dashes or the “dive into”?
@GergelyOrosz I was once discussing with a VC on whatsapps and suddenly received a "your token plan expired" message with the discussion stopping ... Bad vibe
@GergelyOrosz because of brainwash + not so high overall intelligence
plus - this is act of disrespect. He wants you to spend your time to read that slop, but doesnt want to spend time to write it
@bunopus_en @GergelyOrosz Honest question, did AI write this? Because it has the em dash AND the “it’s not this, it’s that” tropes…
@PawelJLisowski @GergelyOrosz another way to frame it is: addiction.
@GergelyOrosz Nothing kills a warm connection faster than realizing you were put into an AI funnel 🥲
@GergelyOrosz What if you responded back that you had a nice conversation and would like to continue having those kinds together rather than anything AI generated? I am sure people agreed to speak with you despite your having sent them templated emails.
@Ballin2TheMax it was much more than that, AI templated writing in every sentence, adjective overuse etc etc
@GergelyOrosz 0 empathy for slop. Even more destructive if he does it for company comms and in Notions
