AI PR Pitches Blocked: SaaStr on Irrelevant AI Spam

AI-generated PR pitches are now being blocked on sight, even if they're well-written. That's the key takeaway from the latest "The Agents" podcast from SaaStr. The show's hosts, Amelia and Jason, explain that while AI has made writing pitches easier, it's made targeting the right audience much harder. They're seeing an influx of AI pitches that sound great but are completely irrelevant. This has led them to block these messages immediately, without guilt. What's interesting is that this is a new wave of AI spam, following earlier issues with AI sales development representatives. The hosts warn that this trend will soon hit other industries. The bottom line: if your AI tool generates well-written but poorly targeted pitches, you're not getting through; you're getting blocked. This highlights the growing importance of human oversight in AI-driven communication.
