I relate, and then realized that's been the basis of spam handling for decades now. It's depressing, and we aren't putting this genie back in the bottle unfortunately.

How so?

Spam, for decades, has been a matter of just shoveling truckloads of emails out the door and hoping that one or two get a gullible match.

Blocking spam, for decades, has been a matter of heuristic pattern-matching.

I don't see how that is the same as "fighting LLMs with LLMs", or how it could be said to be the same as how spam is made and used.
