      <p>Hi!  A friend of mine is getting hammered with Costco, AAA,
        Lowe's and similar spam.  I don't know how they got her email
        address, but she's getting flooded.  Her email account is on a
        shared hosting platform (Hostgator) and while Spamassassin is
        installed and configured, it's blocking only so much of this.  </p>
      <p>Anyway, I'm writing because tonight, she started getting
        messages that contain the text of a prompt for an AI engine to
        generate the spam email.  lol</p>
      <p>My questions:</p>
      <ol>
        <li>Is having access to the prompt text useful in helping
          Spamassassin detect and filter out AI generated spam?</li>
        <li>Would it be worthwhile to create any kind of rule to look

      </ol>
      <p>I have a few samples of these if anyone is interested.</p>
