The long predicted LLM spam apocalypse is upon us. All open systems and forums will be rendered unusable, including probably eventually e-mail. The future is closed enclaves, private forums, and managed platforms that verify identity.

It was kind of inevitable that some tech would eventually do this, even if it was as unsophisticated as click farms and content mills. If adding information is free and there is no gate, it gets trashed by spam. It’s a classic tragedy of the commons.
