yeah, determining the zip for an address is a really bad example.

Better one would be "based on these three columns, generate a cold outbound email for the person..."

it would suck to be on the receiving end of those, but the use case makes much more sense.

I've been wondering about this... It definitely doesn't feel great to be on the receiving end of something auto-generated. But a "unique" message is at least more interesting to read, and doesn't feel quite as frustrating.

A yet if P(someone unknown is a robot) gets too large, it's going to be a weird adjustment period.
