Ask HN: Are junk email filters getting worse?
3 by mdni007 | 5 comments on Hacker News.
For the past 2 years I've watched my outlook email inbox devolve into a cesspool of junk and phishing emails. I need to go through about a hundred junk emails daily to find just a handful of actual legitimate emails. I noticed recently that my gmail inbox has also started to spiral out of control for the past few months. I feel like it was never THIS bad before. With all this growth of AI and LLMs I would think that seeing emails in my inbox promoting male enhancement drugs promising 4 more inches would be a thing of the past. If that wasn't bad enough these emails are often flagged as important (in the case of outlook).
