Why AI-SDRs don't have skin in the game

SDRs have Urgency + Hunger.
Automated Engineered AI Outreach absolutely lacks it.
I see founder-like hustle when I talk to SDRs.
They have clear metrics. Clear numbers. Clear targets.
This makes them hyper focused on the goal.
A day of dialing is super mission critical for them.
AI-SDR is a slop machine because it's just a generative machine.
AI (or GTM Engineers) have no skin in the game, no incentives or true feedback.
When feedback for meetings not booked hits an SDR - great SDRs auto-improvise (or can given access to the right & easy tools)
They switch channels. They go find the person. They look for better things.
It's all dictated backwards form a true feedback loop.
Which AI-SDR lacks.
