LLM seems like a good tech to solve the spam problem
- hammyhavoc 3y agoWhy does it? With how much it hallucinates, it's likely to be objectively worse than existing RegEx filters.
- nathias 3y agoregex is too specific, LLMs seem like they could help us make more general types if we can avoid hallucinations, maybe we could teach one to generate spam in order to teach another how to recognize it
- beefman 3y agoNo need for LLMs. Old-fashioned statistical machine learning works essentially perfectly.
- tommy_axle 3y agoMaybe not even going to fully ML/AI but definitely some NLP to understand the intent behind the spam. It's sort of like the approach taken with https://spampatrol.io https://spampatrol.io for forms. Probably can use it for email too.

- ttul 3y agoI’d say it more likely ENABLES spamming 2.0. Lifelike customized messages are coming to an inbox near you.
- nathias 3y agoyes, it opens a new line of fight, spammers are already using them, but they could also work defensively
