"This email looks like it is trying to convince and persuade you of X, are you sure you trust the sender and want to continue reading?"

(An advanced phishing/impersonation attack detection system)

Interesting question! I haven't heard anything specific about that, but it wouldn't surprise me if they're working on something like that. By the way, speaking of email services, I was recently looking into transferring my Thunderbird Address Book to Outlook. A friend recommended a blog that talks in detail about export Thunderbird Address Book to Outlook https://www.emailadepts.com/blog/thunderbird-address-book-to-outlook-pst.htm . They explain everything step by step and it helps a lot not to get confused.

This is specifically supposed to be a "persuasion-detection" system, not generalized phishing detection? Like, it would trigger on a personal email from your friend asking you to support their GoFundMe? Seems like it would be weird to warn someone about any type of persuasion

Super underrated, this is very likely going to happen

@firstuserhere it just doesn't sound that useful... What would you do if you detect persuasion? Warn the user about it? They're reading the email, can't they already see that it's persuasion?

@ErickBall Yep! warn the user about it - that's a lot of utility. No, it's not easy to tell when someone is stating something or pushing an opinion subtly

@ErickBall I'd find sources for it later but OpenAI and google both have had this in works at some stage in 2023

bought Ṁ0 of NO

How on earth would you detect that?

Got idea for market from a talk by Ilya Sutskevar (founder OpenAI)
