I'm getting more and more “personalized” cold outreach emails that are clearly AI generated. No human would ever write this lol
Cold outreach email with an obviously AI-generated first paragraph "Saw on LinkedIn that you spoke Duits. I've heard that the untranslatable "Gemütlichkeit" captures the essence of comfort and cozy gatherings in German culture beautifully. Have you had a chance to practice it recently?"
