Ask HN: If AI is good, why can't Gmail stop the following blatant spammer?

2•selfhoster•9mo ago
I get one or two of these a day at my selfhosted account. It's McAfee (which is funny, I'm Ubuntu Desktop), Norton something, Microsoft Office, etc. They always come in from random Gmail accounts. I've individually reported dozens of these the past year or two to Google, using their web form, that their abuse email response requires to be used.

Does Google not care people use their account system to spam people at other domains? If their AI is good, seems like they could filter these before they get sent, perhaps even detect abuse patterns of the abusers?

These all have a very similar format. I don't use SpamAssassin but I may have to go back to using it, to see if it can reject these emails.

To paraphrase Charlie Munger - how could cutting down the spam improve Google's Quarterly Earnings Report?
cvhc•9mo ago
(1) One would prefer precision over recall for spam detection, so bear some false negatives; (2) these classifiers are subject to adversarial attacks -- you may see spammers repeating the same tricks to circumvent the detector for a while and providers are slow to update their detectors.
