AVG Internet Security - Anti-Spam feature

Today, I've been told by AVG Technical Support the AVG Anti-Spam feature/icon has been removed from the ribbon of the latest version of MS 2016 Outlook.  Simple question, why?  I've been told it all now happens in the background automatically… really?  Has AVG/MS machine learning become so sophisticated it no longer needs my input as to who I want to mark as SPAM?
