This is your competition
poor George
Yesterday I found this cold pitch email in my junk folder:
I usually delete these without a glance, but something caught my eye:
“I wish this email unearths you well.”
Huh?
As I continued reading (the email was 5 paragraphs), the telltale scent of poorly translated, AI generated nonsense churned out by an unskilled writer wafted towards me:
“We'll begin with a detailed dialogue to apprehend your necessities…”
“Upon crowning glory, we're going to provide schooling on a way to control and update the internet site…”
“…We look forward to running with you!”
Now I don’t know if they had their ChatGPT Vocabulary Selector cranked to level Rain Man, or if they were using the worst English translation software imaginable, but I could not take my eyes off of this word-upon-word train wreck.
For those of you waving your hands at me shouting “but it worked! They kept your attention!”- No it didn’t.
I’m not asking “George Reece” to redesign my website any time soon.
However, I did reply to the email:

I fantasize this email reveals you a shaft sunk into the ground to obtain water, oil, or gas.
