    That must be why i still keep getting the same old G-Mail SPAM always having to move it to Spam Folder so often. Delete Forever is a farce. AI- Artificial is just that- artificial, phony, made to make folks think it's capability is somehow smart/intelligent? Pfftttttt

    Machine Learning is been around for years, AI to me is a just another form of machine learning. Trouble is that it doesn't learn a whole heap of a lot at any given time.

    IMO

    LOL, same over here. I honestly don't understand why I still receive spam in my Yahoo Mail and Gmail accounts after 25+ years, is it really that hard to stop those spammers? :argh:

    @Rasheed187 - Funny you would say that. It's roughly the same many years i too have been putting up with it.

    It's doing its job, no? I don't see any spam in my inbox, where I care about it. I check my spam folder regularly and find false positives in there on occasion; I would rather do that than have it silently delete all spam (including false positives). I think it's erring on the cautious side; could you imagine the outcry if it were found Google was silently deleting email, spam or not?

    So NOT a fan of Google, but my gmail has historically been quite efficient and effective in the spam dept. I plan to keep gmail indefinitely.

    Same experience. My Gmail spam filtering has been excellent over the years. Much better experience than Outlook for me which often flags legit emails.
