That's where the problem is. Tragedy of the commons, we all think if I do it it's fine, but then the next guy does it and it turns out it comes to bite us.

I knew adding that might raise some hackles.

I'm not anti-LLM, in fact I use them heavily. It might surprise you to know I've even used them to write cold emails. My issue is not with cold emails but with the deception. I'm always 100% upfront about what I'm selling and I also don't let a LLM loose with my email. It's written emails but I've sent each one, by hand, normally after some heavy editing.

I think there is a way to use LLMs without being gross about it.

Can't believe this guy didn't sift through his slop emails by hand, the outrage...
