I've seen a number of these too. Slimy is the word that comes to mind.

Spamgents are going to bring about the dark forest in email above and beyond spam calls.

We're dismantling and selling every remaining bit of trust between strangers, hoping to cash out before it's completely gone.

It seems like the only active use case for AI. More of everything! Spam everyone! Drown the world in noise!

I'm just so tired.

Block domain, report spam. It’s a tiny yet satisfying action each day.

The emails have repeated paragraphs. What does that? It's not something LLMs generally do. I see that now and then and assumed it was bad human cut and paste work. Is it?

Fuck it, make it anyway
