In the same vein, I think the same happens with my corporate email, which "potential vendors" abuse so much that is just spam now. I receive so many emails directly to my inbox, where it seems like a legitimate reason to contact me and then I realize that they want just to sell me something.
And if you don't block them they send emails every day with something dismissive like: "If you cannot make the decision, redirect to someone in your company that can", or "I guess you are too busy now but...".
With AI, the emails are becoming even worse, someone mentioned the college I attended and tried to get a fun fact "I saw you attended X, did you enjoy the winter festival?". We never had that.

I just got one of these for the first time today:
> Saw on LinkedIn that you attended <my university>. Did you ever experience the Sustainability Festival?
This is my corp email as well, and the spam filter only catches maybe ~80% of these types of spam. Very frustrating.
The one Microsoft AI which I wouldn't try to immediately disable in the registry is if they added something to outlook to auto-reply and waste these people's time.
