Cold emails -- especially AI generated ones -- go directly to the trash in my mailbox.

Same here, but AI is orthogonal to that. Spam is spam - there's no difference between one written by silicon-based LLM bot, and one written by protein-based low paid human bot.

That distinct feeling when reading AI is as if someone who wrote it was compelled to write more words

tl;dr: AI is looking to convey words. A good author is looking to efficiently convey information.

Because that's literally what it is. Its an algorithm that is continuously asking itself, 'what is the most likely word I should say next?'

Whereas an author that is intending to communicate a point, will start with an idea, write a passage to explain the idea, and then edit their passage to the minimum number of words that most precisely, accurately, and succinctly communicates that idea.

I'll always love "If I had more time, I would have written you a shorter letter."

The most scary thing nowadays is that a lot of people fail Reverse Turing Test. They think that the thing there (the LLM) is thinking... They say "I told chat" etc. If high-ranking people will fail the test they are able to start using AI instead of thinking, or for example impose laws using AI...

This is untenable. I could be AI. You could be AI. The whole idea of value is going to change when there is 99.99% noise from AI, and genuine human created content will be hard to distinguish if at all.
