I'd feel more considered if I'd gotten no email at all

I don't think this is AI tbh. Crap like this is where AI learned to talk like that. I've been getting these kind of emails way before LLMs were a thing

    Yeah this screams templated email to me. You don't need an AI to sound generic, you can just use a generic template. With the number of emails they send out I seriously doubt they want to spend the money on rejection emails generated by an AI.

    There's no space between the dash though. AI does em dash like -- this, and the email did it like--this.

    That's not an em dash in your comment. In the email it looks to be an em dash.

    Here are the three dashes: em dashes (—), en dashes (–) , and hyphens (-)

    It's the width that makes the em dash so noticeable in ai content.
