How is Apple AI even involved here? Assuming this is the Apple-native Mail app, and an external (not iCloud) email service, isn't the spam filtering done on the server (not the client)? If that's true, did Apple AI on the client pick something out of spam and move it back into the Inbox? If that's the case, that's shady AF and definitely a bad thing. But, there aren't enough details to know.
- acdha 2y agoThe spam filter failed to catch it, which is expected - nothing gets 100% – but then the Mail app interpreted the text of the message in the inbox as legitimate and placed it in the priority section with an excerpt which sounds legit and none of the suspicious parts displayed. This is basically the Achilles heel of LLMs: they’re gullible, and in a context like spam there are many people with a financial incentive to figuring out how to exploit that. The rush to deploy them will lead to more of these problems as people start using them on untrusted inputs at scale and I imagine a ton of money is going to flood to people who say they can limit this.
- alistairSH 2y agoAh, that makes so much more sense!
- zombiwoof 2y agoYes and wait till the spammers figure out how to trick LLMs
