That apology stinks of LLM to me.

Or perhaps living in this second-rate Temu timeline is driving me mad.

    I didn't read it, but all of dBrand's copy has a certain attitude to it. I doubt it's AI, just a very unusual brand voice, and it's kinda cute and funny at first, but after the 5th email in a week with the same "We're so cool, we're not like other companies" tone, I unsubscribed.

    I felt the tone of voice in this was actually a little off. Could you have a look and let me know if you agree. There is some snark, but less than the expected amount for me.

    I just read through it, it was seriously bland by their normal standards, but it didn't feel AI generated to me. It was missing many of the signatures I've come to expect. I'll give them kudos for being frank, and I do wonder if, perhaps, some lawyering was involved. That may be what you are picking up on.
