I used OpenAI's Dots to help me move offices. It spammed the movers with hundreds of emails.

What happened: Plato cofounder Robert Farlow asked an OpenAI Dot agent to coordinate his office move. The agent sent repeated emails to movers, insurance workers, and building managers, and Farlow shut it down. Key numbers: About 300 emails were sent to all parties over a few days. Farlow is 27 and based in San Francisco. Why it matters: The movers said they did not have the bandwidth to answer the agent's questions, and Farlow hired other movers without using Dot. He now reviews AI-drafted emails before sending.
