Suggestion: A Thunderbird plugin that makes people on your shitlist talk to GPT-3. I wonder how fast spam would cease if that became the default behavior of mail clients. Spammers would need to manually wade through literal seas of garbage to find the one mail that's actually a legitimate reply.

It wouldn't cease. Spammers would try to get people to respond some other way that's harder to automate. That might reduce the spam's response rate and cut volume some as a result, but it would not cease.

  Most of the people spamming with their bullshit do seem to want a reply, yes. Here's a fraction of the spam I received last week: > Dear Friend, I am Alli Ibrahim,I hope you're doing well and keeping yourself safe from the Coronavirus pandemic. I have a good business proposal for you. There are no risks involved and it is easy. Please reply for briefs and procedures. Best regards, Alli Ibrahim > Hello would you be interested for us to be Partners in business in your country? Regards, Roseline Eribe from London. > Hi <redacted>, I saw your profile online and wanted to reach out! You might be a great fit for many of the remote software engineering roles that top U.S. companies are hiring for on Turing. > Hi <redacted>, I am looking for a possible tie up with a business or individual in your country so I can make some investments. Please, advise on investment opportunities in your country. Looking forward to your response. > Hello Dear, I am Ivanov a Bulgarian, I have a business which I would like to discuss with you because I will be visiting your country soon. Let me know if you are Interested i will brief you in details. + about a dozen mails from adtech companies wanting to smear their shit over my property.
