> Using these tools to mitigate spam is as likely a scenario as this, imagine that every spam mail receives a masterfully crafted response showing utter fascination and interest in SEO, or helping out a Nigerian prince. Every phone call to an unregistered number is answered by an artificial, frail, and forgetful lady that is trying her best to register gift cards.

Right. And who the fuck would pay for GPU time for that ?

The $40bn estimate was given by a company whose main product is spam prevention and call blocking.

I'd take that number with a huge grain of salt.

The comment was about using it to answer scammers, not to do the scams.

Obviously for scammers it would be huge benefit as they are directly profiting off it.
