I agree that email addresses get leaked eventually.

However, LLMs are quite good at generating spam and I think soon will evade most filters.

you know what's funny is that llms are also good at detecting spam as they are generating it. I've got an automation that scores incoming emails and it's getting better and better each day (also more expensive haha)

		I can’t explain it well, but I think there is an asymmetric issue here… that the ability for an LLM to write a plausible email, and the ability for an LLM to detect that it’s spam are mismatched. Perhaps if you said the LLM had all your context and websearch. That it could know that a Penny Pollytree and Coco Co isn’t a real person, but… that just seems like burning a ton of coal to detect fraud where an LLM was able to easily come up with the fictitious spam cheaply.

I doubt it. Most of the signals spam filters use these days are reputation based. You have to build up your domain and IP reputation for a long time first.

Or buy/rent domains/IPs that have good reputations, as there are services that specializes in just bringing up the reputation for stuff so they can sell it once "good". Same exists for user accounts for various platforms like reddit and so on.

Sure, you'd burn that reputation extremely fast as Google detects your sending patterns change and the first few users start reporting as spam.

		> you'd burn that reputation extremely fast Yes, that is indeed the point of those; "build up reputation -> sell/rent -> someone uses it to burn reputation -> rinse and repeat".
