I highly doubt AI had anything to do with that, and it was more to do with the Gmail service being in use for over 2 decades.
- websiteapi 10mo agoWhat about yahoo and hotmail then?
- esskay 10mo agoWhat about them? Gmail 'beat' them years ago thanks to a generous amount of storage on the free tier, hype marketing at launch, and a vastly superior spam filter. Not one part of that was down to AI.
- apples_oranges 10mo agoIf spam filtering counts as "AI" then yes
- esskay 10mo agoI doubt it does given the spam filtering has again, been there for 2 decades.
- TheNewsIsHere 10mo agoWe’ve had AI for decades, just not the kind of low-value, high-priced slop generators that are synonymous with AI today. I assume Google just wants to rebrand Bayesian analysis as “AI” so it can claim it’s been doing that for decades.
