It's the first SEO/Adv email I receive of this kind with a custom header that attempts the fake-friendly "hey, see, I speak about you" intro and the wording looks like a poor mashup of my About page.

That's why I'm suspicious this is part of a new generation of AI-enhanced spam (I can't verify it, it's only a guess) and I wanted to share it.

Have you got this recently in your mailbox? What do you think about it?

Screenshot of an email: Object: Remove the guesswork from UX and revenue today From: (censored) To: David Revoy (underlined part) David, I wanted to reach out and express my admiration for your incredible work as a freelance artist. Your website showcases an impressive range of skills and expertise in illustration, art-direction, concept-art, storytelling and teaching. With your thousands of monthly visits, I'm curious to know if you're getting best value. (end of underlined part) I can see my colleague reached out to you last year, but it looks like it wasn't the right time and you had some concerns about showing ads. (Censored) is built to maximize ad revenue without harming user experience. Ad combinations that would cause users to bounce are automatically phased out of its testing, in case you were concerned about how ads may affect your visitors. Can I share more information?

@davidrevoy Looks not that different from spam Iโ€™m getting. I would guess they have a person who writes that spam.

I'm a programmer with a LinkedIn, and my email address is in a ton of public repository commit histories, and I've been getting the same kinds of emails for about a decade and they sound about the same. Whether it's AI or not really doesn't make a difference to me; it's the same kind of spam either way.
