FNN has received an email from an airline:

Hi, << Test First Name >>

We have an exclusive offer just for you!

Does anyone check anything anymore?

FNN makes plenty of mistakes but is not trying to get readers to buy anything, like an airline ticket.

Surely a mundane but helpful use of AI would be to run commercial emails like this one through a simple check:

If there are errors in this email please highlight them.

But even that seems to be too much effort for today's email marketeers.

<< Test First Name >> is a placeholder that is supposed to be replaced by the first name of the intended recipient extracted from some database.

This kind of basic error plus the epidemic of spelling and grammatical errors that plague websites, online media and commercial email solicitations shows why AI will replace many copywriter-type jobs in the near future.

Presumably the airline in question would accept << Test First Name >> on your API passport information?
