First thing I thought of when reading it...gotta be. Too machine-like.
AI is sending phishing emails now too, but so far they're easy to identify because of the wording. Our CFO got one the other day that appeared to be an email chain. The 1st in the chain appeared to be sent from one of our admin assistants desiring to donate $25K to a charity. The 2nd was the reply thanking her. The 3rd was the reply giving the CFO's contact info for sending an invoice. The last was the mail to the CFO.
What tipped it off for me was the wording used:
