AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude make it easy to generate thousands of personalized cold emails. These messages look legitimate—well-written, properly authenticated, and sent from domains with good reputations thanks to inbox warming techniques.
Traditional spam filters miss them because they're not technically spam. They're professionally written, grammatically correct, and follow email best practices. Yet they're still unwanted automated sales pitches cluttering your inbox.
