I think it depends on the industry. In my company (insurtech) a large percentage of our sales come from AI engagements (phone and text). The customers know they're talking to an AI and they can elect to talk to a human at any time but many times they don't.

But yeah, send me a non solicited AI slop email or worse, political ad, and you dont get the dignity of me saying stop to unsubscribe. Straight to spam for you.
