They have an "AI" (LLM with shiny UI) that will find your (unknowing, completely uninterested in your company with no prior idea it exists) customer's social media pages, then cold email them (with totals in the thousands of emails weekly) complement them on topics from their recent tweets as if it's a real human, then go on to sell them things with large amounts of marketing jargon in the same paragraph.

Any company that uses this on me is losing my business immediately.
