Heh that brings to mind that old chestnut, something like "We call it AI until it works, then we call it machine learning." Google's running the servers tho, so the assumption is the servers would be running the spam filter against it before the user. In my mind, anyway. So it's fair to point out that Google also has the compute resources to not have to care. To the hypothetical though, could Google make Gmail a local-first? I say yes. Will they? I doubt it.
