This seems like it could work in some way, but it's important to recognize that spam, and LLM usage already require payment in some form or another. There's a cost to sending out millions of emails just like there will be a cost for generating millions of LLM generated posts. So with that framing, it's obvious that spammers, using AI or otherwise, are willing to expend capital to produce spam. There may be a threshold of cost they won't be willing to exceed, but there's no principle here which can be applied universally.
