    We spent decades teaching people not to click suspicious links, then handed our inboxes and payment permissions to a chatbot that treats »ignore previous instructions« as a promotion to management. The phishing email no longer needs to fool you: It just needs to fool your very expensive autocomplete intern.

    Why would you use your AI Agents to check emails? I only use my locally run AI Agents to send me incredibly insulting messages on Matrix and Signal because I’m into that kinda thing.

      That’s a very interesting take. Gmail has always had one of the better spam filters in my experience. I absolutely remember when common wisdom was that if you were inundated with spam, one way to help was to forward email to a gmail box and have its spam filters run on it.

      Even today, I see very few false positives and false negatives.

      YMMV of course.
