I'm on HN daily like you are, I'm sure if this was a developing crisis in spam detection and social media we'd be hearing about it constantly. People on HN love a good AI doomer story, it won't be hiding.
Otherwise it's mostly just predictions of widescale disruption which beyond hyper targetted attacks I remain skeptical.
- jacquesm 4y agoRun a couple of hundred comments on HN sequentially sampled from the comments stream through the AI detector and see what pops up. The fraction is rising steadily.
- themacguffinman 4y agoPeople complain about it on HN a lot, although "hearing about it constantly" is a fairly vague and nebulous criteria. Search "gmail spam" on hn.algolia.com with a "past year" time filter, here's a bunch of the most popular titles: - Bypassing Gmail's spam filters with ChatGPT - Ask HN: What's happening with Gmail spam filtering? - Tell HN: Gmail's spam filters have gone bonkers - Gmail spam is out of control - Ask HN: Gmail having spam problems for anybody else? - Ask HN: Have you noticed an increase of spam evading Gmail's filters recently? - Ask HN: Has Gmail's spam filter been defeated by this type of spam lately? Maybe it's not relentlessly posted every week but a lot of people are certainly noticing it on HN.
