AI Cold Email Gets Roasted: Recipient Demands £2,400 Consultation Fee

A recent grad shared their experience using AI to automate cold outreach for their brother's business. While it initially seemed like a huge efficiency boost, they received a scathing reply from a recipient.
The recipient easily spotted the AI-generated format and sarcastically offered feedback: "I'd be happy to give feedback on whatever ambiguous, vaguely businessy sounding tool... since you're having trouble writing your own emails I'll double the rate to £2400." This sparked a discussion on whether using AI to 'solve' existing business procedures actually exposes more shortcomings than it fixes.
