What an annoying email to receive. Just the new wave of spam, this time powered
by pedantic LLMs.

Hopefully the next iteration can actually understand context and realize I don't
need someone to give me a "close reading" of my work. Imagine paying $25 to
reiterate that I have poor writing skills. I already know that, I don't need to
pay to hear it.
