Why on earth did you post someone's unobfuscated email address if that someone clearly does not want that?
private information is not to be put on the internet in the clear. that's why we laugh at "data breaches" in the form of public s3 buckets and the likes.

Still, you can get a collection of like 10-20 regexes for most common types of obfuscation, and that will solve the problem like 90% of the time. And it is much cheaper, computationally, than running LLM on the whole content.
I always felt email obfuscation is just a cargo cult and the reduction in spam is only from improvements in anti-spam tech. I never obfuscated my address and pretty much haven't seen spam since first days of Gmail. And very little even before then thanks to SpamAssassin. Also raw email addresses can be easily harvested from git repos, mailing list archives and possibly other sources. A lot of technical people who cho…

It is not a cargo cult if you use methods that are more difficult.

For all the comments saying obfuscation is pointless. I have an email address listed publicly on a project website with basic obfuscation (something like x y com), plus a bit of javascript to automatically deobfuscate it in the browser. It's been there for years and never received a spam email. But then I have another address which I've been similarly careful with but have also used on a few registrations and that ge…
