GenAI is not making a qualitative change in spam & junk content, it's making a quantitative change. Previously, you had to wade through some noise to get to the signal, but with everyone making scammy content with genAI you'll have to wade through 100x noise to find the 1x signal.

Just like existence of email didn't create the concept of spam, it just made sending it much, much, cheaper.
