From all the recruiter spam I've received over the years, I almost see that as a good thing.

Engineers really love saying this but I take it as a good thing. It's like audibly complaining that you get too many Tinder matches.
I think it's more aptly compared to complaining you get a bunch of Tinder matches from people you don't find attractive.
There's a difference between "recruiters reaching out" and "spam that doesn't match my skills or experience at all from recruiters that barely seem to listen when I tell them that and insist on offering me a job that's not even remotely a good fit".
It really depends on how you look at it. If I get a whole bunch of fake AI matches from Tinder, I don't see that as a good thing either. Unless of course, fake AI is your 'thing'...
