I hope against hope that AI spam detection never becomes a thing. At least with today's methods, I can tell a person why their message was marked as spam. If AI detection becomes the norm, all I can do is shrug and say, "Sorry, it's the algorithm."

Gmail has used machine learning to classify spam since its creation.

Gmail is successful because it naturally is the biggest honeypot. Most antispam API filters are like accumulators. When a trend is detected, the rest are protected. But overall, it's about scale.

SpamAssassin has a Bayes filter that you can train with ham and spam. This has basically been a thing since forever.

How do you think SpamAssassin/gmail/outlook created their spam rules?
