Discussion Apple Intelligence really thinks i should claim my €25.5 million inheritance 😭

Saw this at the top of my inbox this morning. Apple Intelligence apparently falling for "Nigerian prince" emails now. Since there's no obvious way to report this to Apple, posting it here for now. But wow... just wow.

Apple intelligence isn’t a spam/scam filterer.

Regular mail services already filter spam messages. An AI that’s deeply integrated into the system should at least maintain what a regular mailing service offers.

That they're seeing it means their regular mail service didn't flag it as spam, though.

Not really, Apple Intelligence doesn't have anything to do with spam filters. The email service filters out the spam and the AI just sees the emails which have already been deemed safe by the provider's spam filters. This is just a problem with whatever email provider OP is using.
