AI Tools Made Spam Worse. Here's How to Fight Back.

AI tools have revolutionized the digital landscape, right? WRONG. They’ve made our inboxes a dumpster fire of spam. You know it, I know it. Ever since AI got into the hands of every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a Wi-Fi connection, our emails have been flooded with more junk than a hoarder’s attic. And it’s not just annoying; it’s a productivity killer.

Picture this: Just yesterday, my inbox was hit with a barrage of emails that looked like they were written by a robot on caffeine. “Dear Sir/Madam, we offer the best solutions for your business needs.” Delete. “Exclusive offer just for you!” Delete. It’s gotten so bad that if you’re not filtering, you’re practically inviting chaos into your work life.

Why AI Email Tools Are Failing Us

Let's get one thing straight: AI tools were supposed to make our lives easier. But instead of filtering spam, they’ve amplified it. Why? Because AI can generate thousands of emails in seconds, making it the perfect tool for spammers. This isn’t innovation; it’s insanity.

• Volume Over Value: AI tools prioritize quantity over quality. It's like getting a flood of leaflets dumped on your lawn. The more they send, the higher the chance someone will click. But here’s the kicker: it’s not about getting clicks; it’s about getting the right ones.

• Generic Content: Most AI-generated emails are as generic as a stock photo. They lack personalization and relevancy. You might as well be sending emails to Martians.

The Real Cost of Spam on Your Productivity

Spam isn’t just a nuisance; it’s a time thief. According to research by McKinsey, the average worker spends 28% of their workweek dealing with emails. Imagine how much of that is wasted on spam. It’s like paying a tax on your attention—except you’re not getting a refund.

• Lost Hours: You’re losing 2 hours a week to this garbage. That’s 104 hours a year. What could you do with an extra 104 hours? Build a side hustle? Spend time with family? Anything but sift through spam.

• Focus Drain: Every spam email is a distraction. It pulls you away from deep work and tasks that actually matter. Your brain isn’t wired to switch tasks constantly. It’s wired to focus, to solve complex problems.
