The Zvi mocks AI-written cold pitches that flaunt scraped personal facts
TheZvi · x · 2026-11-11
Developer joshu deletes cold pitches that open by reciting a few facts about him — obviously AI-written ("you invented tagging, which is just like how we provide insurance to helicopters"). The Zvi jokes that if you're going to do this, don't put that research on the internet where future AI agents could read it. A sharp observation that scraped "personalization" has become the very signal that gets AI outreach deleted.
