Does this reply from the researchers sound like I’m wasting their time?
“Hello to Wick and Ben, with a cc to researchers in data rescue Dr. van der Schee in the Netherlands and Dr. Noone in Ireland,
Thanks for your reply, Ben.
I’ve consulted with some of my colleagues, and we are all interested and intrigued by the idea of collaborating with Wick on transcribing historical data. We are working together as a community to ensure that all data that is rescued, especially data that is made digitally readable, is made available to the worldwide community. Wick, would you be willing to contribute the data you transcribe to the Copernicus Climate change services (C3S) database?

Have you been forthcoming that your email was AI-generated?
If you have, then I'd say no. They know what it's about and what to expect. If you haven't, then yes, it's a waste of their time.
It sounds like yes, you've already wasted their time, and you will waste more of it when they try to analyze the slop you send over the wall at them.
