Dear ChatGPT: Please produce a spam filter that differentially filters out emails from party X (vs party Y) and yet seems in all regards to be intended to produce only neutral results (at least with respect to human-comprehensible analyses).

You might not be bothered by the value of X and the effect in this case, but extrapolating to society as a whole, this is about to become a huge problem.


The RNC may have lost a battle, but they won the war: Google is providing political campaigns a way around spam filters: https://www.axios.com/2022/09/19/gmail-pilot-campaign-email-...


Gmail's spam filter is biased against email.
