AI-Written Emails Are Getting Caught as Spam More Often Than Human Ones
New research from Folderly finds AI-written cold emails hit spam filters more often and get lower open and reply rates than human copy.
As reported by Reddit's r/artificial community and circulating widely among developers, Apple unveiled a completely rebuilt Siri at WWDC that does what the original never could: understand what is on your screen, remember prior conversations, and search across apps simultaneously. The twist no one anticipated — the AI muscle behind it comes from Google's Gemini, not OpenAI's ChatGPT, ending a high-profile partnership that had positioned Apple squarely in the OpenAI ecosystem.
The new Siri launches English-only, a sign Apple chose shipping speed over language breadth. But the Google deal is the real story: it hands Gemini a distribution channel of more than a billion iPhones and repositions Google as the AI backbone of the world's most valuable consumer device company.
For OpenAI, the optics are bruising. Apple is the kind of partner that confers legitimacy in ways enterprise deals do not, and losing that slot to a direct rival signals the ChatGPT partnership was always transactional, not strategic. Apple has historically moved cautiously on AI — and spent years getting mocked for Siri's limitations. Choosing results over loyalty to an existing partner is a rare and telling signal.
