AI generated emails from prospective student interns
Is anyone else in the US also getting spammed by AI-generated emails from students pretending interest in your research? I have gotten 2 today. The template is:
Title: Question/Inquiry about [research topic]
Dear Prof X,
Paragraph 1: I came across your 2021 paper on [...]. I was surprised / I did not expect that [...]. Do you think that [...]?
Paragraph 2: My name is X, and I am a Junior at X High School. [Some background about the student]. [Express interest in doing an internship]. Do you have a few minutes this week or next to chat?
[Edit] I wonder if this this is the tool they are using: ProfPing?
