My gmail got absolutly flooded with LLM generated spam messages. They all had "Hello, test" in many different languages, correspondence personas, etc.
which makes me think someone was trying to test their mass email spam generator.
1000+ emails bypassed my spam folder, went straight into my Primary inbox. From the POV of the "tester", I'd say they had a success.
I'm thinking of migrating off Google for proton mail now.
