I’m actually thrilled by this, as it means all the hack marketers that spam my inbox incessantly with whatever product they’re hucking - this time for sure perfect for my business, in spite of the fact I’ve ignored their last ten emails - are all out of a job, and good riddance. The author sounds unfamiliar with this brand of marketing email, so I can see why it would come off disquieting to find it’s all AI - but it…

I look forward to the blog post of how a hacker uses AI to respond to AI generated leads and then have them play with each other....and then uses AI to create content for a Youtube channel fighting back against marketers using said AI. These early days is ripe to make some quick cash before it all comes crashing down.

ok does it mean an end to email? it's nearly free to send emails to anyone. for comparison, it's much more expensive to send linkedin messages or create ads on social networks. did anyone attempt to create a paid email service (pay to send)?

Anti AI art people remind me of anti AI marketing people from hackernews. Guys, it’s a tool like any other.

I think you messed up your "A reminds me of B" structure, or at least I don't get what you are saying, and why.

Anyways. LLM is a program created by supercomputers to be deceptive.

Also it took away the aspect of life that people around the world could cold email each other if their hobbies align.

And in general, now the percentage of potential bad actors went from near 0 to near 100.

And for why? .. ..

.. I still think the world should just put a cap on chip power. Stop producing new chips, and make it illegal to own powerful chips. I think it is

    a) doable
    b) the right solution.
(And eventually start producing very weak chips, that can run your business and accounting on a TUI.)

It's all fun and games until HR use AI to write your annual performance review in which it is suggested that you got fired for sexual misconduct (this hallucinated from other guy's HR files), won a sales bonus for selling AI to your company (it was the other way round and it's the sales guy who got it), and are due to enter retirement (you are 29, but most of the company is over 50, so the probabilistic model prefers that passage of text).

I have been building [GabrielAI](https://getgabrielai.com) also for address the too much spam in Gmail use case.

Specifically smart filter to remove SPAM in a smarter way.

Most people get a lot of spam from sales agents, SEO services, start-up accelerator, etc...

With GabrielAI you can say stuff like:

"If the email is from a SEO agency or it is trying to sell me SEO service"

Then move it to SPAM.

Similarly for all other type of spam or emails.

You can also move stuff to different labels in Gmail to organise your inbox.

I won't add to the AI debate already well expressed by other commenters but one thing i don't understand is why the author has posted the name of the "spammed" product and a direct link to their blog: consider how much did he helped them having new traffic and potential customers
