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.
Yeah no shit, 20 years of gmails ‘s complete inability to determine spam from real email is testament to this
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.
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.
