I don’t know about this. Microsoft would already have a huge body of e-mail to train on with Microsoft 365 and outlook.com if they wanted to I guess?

Yes, but mostly internal corporate emails, stretching back decades, with most of the content about how to violate user privacy using various sneaky schemes. I wonder what kind of A.I. would result from training on such content.

  • Microsoft have run hotmail/outlook.com for decades.This is a service used by hundreds of millions of people, I would guess mostly non corporate. I think they have more than enough personal email data to train on if they wanted to.

    • This. I would gather it’s one of the bigger free mail services after Gmail, at least in the western world.

  • I mean the mails of all their Microsoft 365 customers. Which at least where I live is the majority of all businesses.
