If you email me an obviously LLM generated email about working with me, you will not work with me

Tip for PhD applicants reaching out to prospective advisors: Don’t use an LLM to write these emails. It’s not a great first impression to express your admiration for a recent paper the faculty member published if that paper does not exist.

However...
Doesn't that also show, clever use of available tools?
