Gmail does a pretty good job at spam detection. Without going out of my way, I haven't seen a spam email in years.

I rarely see spam as well. I have had quite a few false positives though.

That's brilliant!
I wonder what the effort would be to take an existing turing test bot and apply it to my spam folder.
Of course once this technique is used the spammers will be forced to deploy their own AIs to deal with the increase in response rates. Which of course this act will come to be called our first AI War. :P

This would actually be great for the field.

That's a really nice application of AI! I find it especially interesting because it would work actively against a group of people to improve the live of others. I think that we can all agree that spam is bad, but still... it has very interesting implications.
Specifically, you code it to engage and waste the time of the people on the other side of those scams to waste their time with false positives that they believe to have been hooked by the system. The scammers are working too and everything depends on ROI. If they are having to invest more and more time the returns stop being worth it.
If you can teach an AI to do that, you can fix one of the web's biggest nuisances.
