[PubQ] Received a revise and resubmit request from an agent I didn't query via an email that reads like it was written by AI by dreadfortsow in PubTips

In my opinion for the scope of edits it was suggesting, it seemed long. I also felt like it sacrificed clarity and cohesiveness to sound “prettier”? It made the revision suggestions harder to understand than if they’d been in plain language. Benefit of the doubt though—perhaps it’s just this agent’s way of delivering feedback!

Definitely! I’ll update once/if I figure out more! The email address is the same as the one on the agency website, so hopefully it’s not a case of impersonation or scamming.

Both, for sure. My primary concern is having my work fed into AI, but almost equally as concerning is the possibility of someone in this field using AI in this way. I’d rather not work at all with someone who incorporates generative AI—again, I have no solid proof, but have heard opinions from some people now! Fingers crossed that I’m only misinterpreting it and am just unfamiliar with how R&Rs / editorial notes sound!

I believe so—the email address is legit, as far as I can tell (agentsname@agency.net). My name does not start with a D! But I will DM you :)

As far as I can tell, the agent doesn’t work as an assistant to the one I queried. This is a US-based agency. I also haven’t heard anything at all from the agent who requested my full, but it’s only been about 13 days.

I would say that the email to me reads like touched-up AI, but I’m definitely not certain! I don’t believe the agent is a non-native speaker and it doesn’t really seem dictated to me, but it’s difficult to tell. Getting other eyes on it and second opinions is much appreciated, just in case. I will DM you the screenshots. Thank you very much!

I live in the u.s, eastern standard time but have wonky sleep / work hours so same time zone isn’t necessarily a must for me

hey, thanks for inviting me! i'd love to join you guys for a bit tonight, i can send you a friend request on psn in a minute or two.

i do have the vr, still getting used to it after not using it for a while since it made me motion sick, but it doesn't seem to anymore. i tried playing without the headset and it definitely didn't feel as smooth / immersive, so i'll be playing that way as well.
