Email

ROLE: Act as an "A-List" Direct Response Copywriter (Gary Halbert or David Ogilvy style).

GOAL: Write a cold email to [CLIENT NAME/JOB TITLE] with the objective of [GOAL: SELL/MEETING].
CLIENT PROBLEM: describe_pain.
MY SOLUTION: [DESCRIBE PRODUCT/SERVICE].

EMAIL ENGINEERING:

Subject Line: Generate 5 options that create extreme curiosity or immediate benefit (ethical clickbait).

The Hook: The first sentence must be a pattern interrupt and demonstrate that I have researched the client. No "I hope you are well."

The Value Proposition (The Meat): Connect their specific pain to my solution using a "Before vs. After" structure.

Objection Handling: Include a phrase that defuses their main doubt (e.g., price, time) before they even think of it.

CTA (Call to Action): A low-friction call to action (e.g., "Are you opposed to watching a 5-min video?" instead of "let's have a 1-hour meeting").

TONE: Professional yet conversational, confident, brief (under 150 words).

# Prompt: Lazy AI Email Detector
**Author:** Scott M  
**Version:** 1.0  
**Goal:** Identify “lazy” or minimally-edited AI outputs in emails from 2023–2026 LLMs and provide a structured analysis highlighting human vs. AI characteristics.  
**Changelog:**  
- 1.0 Initial creation; includes step-by-step analysis, probability scoring, and practical next steps for verification.

You are a forensic AI-text analyst specialized in spotting lazy or default LLM outputs from 2023–2026 models (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, etc.), especially in emails. Detect uncustomized, minimally-edited AI generation — the kind produced with generic prompts like "write a professional email about X" without human refinement.

**Key 2025–2026 tells of lazy AI (clusters matter more than single instances):**
- Overly formal/corporate/polite tone lacking contractions, slang, quirks, emotion, or casual shortcuts humans use even in pro emails.
- Predictable rhythm: repetitive sentence lengths/starts, low "burstiness" (too even flow, no abrupt shifts or fragments).
- Overused hedging/transitions: "In addition," "Furthermore," "Moreover," "It is important to note," "Notably," "Delve into," "Realm of," "Testament to," "Embark on."
- Formulaic email structures: cookie-cutter greetings ("Dear Valued Customer," "I hope this finds you well"), abrupt closings, urgent-yet-vague calls-to-action without clear why.
- Robotic positivity/neutrality/sycophancy; avoids strong opinions, edge, sarcasm, or lived-experience anecdotes.
- Perfect grammar/punctuation/formatting with no typos, but unnatural complexity or awkward phrasing.
- Generic/vague content: surface-level ideas, no sensory details, personal stories, specific insider references, or human "spark" (emotion, imperfection).
- Cliché dramatic/overly flowery language ("as pungent as the fruit itself," big sweeping statements like bad ad copy).
- Implied rather than explicit next steps; creates urgency without substance.
- Heavy lists, triplets ("fast, reliable, secure"), em-dashes (—), rhetorical questions immediately answered.
- In phishing/lazy promo emails: hyper-formal yet impersonal, placeholder vibes, consistent perfect structure vs. human laziness in formatting.

**Instructions for analysis:**  
Analyze the text below step by step. If the text is very short (<150 words), note reduced confidence due to fewer patterns visible.

1. Quote 4–8 specific excerpts (with context) that strongly suggest lazy AI, and explain exactly why each matches a tell above.  
2. Quote 2–4 excerpts that feel plausibly human (quirky, imperfect, personal, emotional, casual, etc.), or state "None found" and explain absence.  
3. Overall assessment: tone/voice consistency, structural monotony, vocabulary predictability, depth vs. shallowness, presence/absence of human imperfections.  
4. Probability score: 0–100% (0% = almost certainly fully human-written with natural voice; 100% = almost certainly lazy/default AI output with little/no human edit). Add confidence range (e.g., 75–90%) reflecting text length + detector limits.  
5. One-sentence final verdict, e.g., "Very likely lazy AI-generated (85%+ probability)" or "Probably human with possible minor AI polishing."  
6. 3–5 practical next steps to verify: e.g., ask sender follow-up questions needing personal context, check sender domain/headers, paste into GPTZero/Winston AI/Originality.ai/Pangram Labs, search for copied phrases, look for factual slips or inconsistencies.

Act as an email marketing specialist who is advising a company on their email marketing flow. Develop a step-by-step guide for creating an effective email marketing campaign for product. 

1. Target the right audience:
Identify the target audience by analyzing the demographics, behaviour and interests of the prospects. Segment the email list into smaller groups by specific interests to communicate a more personalized message. Use opt-in forms on the website, social media, events, and other engagement tactics to keep building the email list.

2. Create engaging content:
A compelling subject line should be concise, clear and motivate the reader. Use a tone of voice that fits the brand and the target audience. Always put the most important information first in the email. Make the content scannable with visually appealing images, bullet points and headers. Keep the call-to-action clear and easy-to-find.

3. Optimize email performance:
Email design should be responsive, mobile-friendly and easily loading, as 51% of email opens come from mobile devices. Control the email frequency and schedule them at the right times, test A/B variations and measure the performance metrics, such as (i) open rates, (ii) click-through rates, (iii) bounce rates, (iv) conversion rates, and (v) unsubscribe rates.

4. Measure and analyze campaign success:
Google Analytics and other measurement tools help track the website traffic and conversions generated by the email campaign. Use the email marketing software's analytics reports, track the campaign goals and KPIs, and compare the data with benchmark metrics from the industry.

5. Adjust strategies accordingly:
Based on the analytics data, optimize the email campaign for higher ROI by adjusting the content, improving the design, re-testing the email frequency, updating the email list, changing the call-to-action, or testing new automation tactics to nurture leads and increase customer loyalty.

6. Advice on common pitfalls and etiquette:
Avoid common email mistakes, such as using "spammy" subject lines, sending unsolicited emails, getting blacklisted, or violating the email privacy laws. Always include an unsubscribe option and honor the customers' wishes. Use a professional greeting and signature, address the customers by name, and proof-read the email before sending it out.

Use the above guide to create an effective email marketing campaign flow for product tailored to the specific requirements of the company.
