LLM generation in general provides the most use to scammers and the like. Generate emails which people won't read, generate articles which are just honeypots or rip-offs, generate images to said articles, generate more and more spam.

Every legit use case for LLM practically requires that human would verify the result manually, at least briefly. But spammers can enjoy skipping that step, since content was never a main priority in the first place.

I disagree frankly, as the next wave is clearly fully autonomous businesses.

    Agreed, "fully autonomous businesses" is the evolutionary next step for spam.

    Spamcorp services are the future. Don't resist it, that would be futile.

    I challenge you to explain a business plan for a fully automated business that isn't at least a bit shady.

      Any business can be run in a shady manner if the human decided. One fully automated business I think could exist and might be useful is apartment/condo rental. I'd pay a business $100 for a proper report on the rentals available in a city that meet a criteria and are amalgamated from all the the various platforms. Doing it yourself (at least in Canada) means creating accounts on a bunch of platforms, and the process is very tedious.
