Domain inquiry written by AI / chatgpt (1.Viewing)

So I get the following domain inquiry (see below). Reading it felt weirdly too well written, too perfect punctuation, and saying things that you wouldn't expect a buyer to say. I thought this sounds like it was written by AI. So I go over to ChatGPT and say "write an email inquiring about purchasing a domain name". Yep, this person definitely used chatGPT to write this email. Compare the two below. Clearly a ChatGPT response, probably edited a bit.

Anyone else seen this type of inquiry? I'm not even sure how to respond, lol. Maybe I should get chatGPT to respond for me... Yes, I think I will. this should at the least be entertaining, haha.

Dear Domain Owner,

I hope this message finds you well. My name is Ali, and I am writing to you with a proposal concerning your domain, Colony.ca.

I am interested in purchasing your domain for a new online project I am developing. This domain perfectly fits our requirements and aligns with our future plans; hence, I am highly interested in acquiring it.

However, I understand that your domain may have a certain value to you, both personally and professionally. Therefore, I am more than willing to discuss a fair and mutually beneficial price for your domain. My goal here is to come to an arrangement that recognizes the value of your property while also fitting within my project's budget.

In addition, I assure you of a smooth and secure transaction process, preferably via a trusted third-party domain escrow service, ensuring the interests and satisfaction of both parties involved.

If you are interested in my proposal, I would be glad to discuss further details and negotiations. Please feel free to reply to this email at your earliest convenience.

Thank you for considering my proposal. I look forward to potentially working with you on this matter.

Best Regards,

Ali
