If their AI quality improves they might give up a career in spamming and make on-topic contributions on a level exceeding most of what goes on here.

It might "advance" to the point of "Prove you are a robot";
no inferior humans invited or tolerated.
I for one welcome our new robot masters!

I don't think that it is anything like that. Yes AI can be trained to bypass whatever
mechanical/animal barriers. So some scammers fool money out from idiots
that they now spam for them using bots. But what the idiots want to be spammed?
It is some nonsense. See for example <https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.lisp>
No chance that any actual person reads any of it or clicks any of those links.
It is posted like every minute clearly by bots, mostly using google groups I think.
Google has only mechanical/animal barriers and those do not work.
Other news services filter most of that garbage out as they have humans in charge. Google has instead blocked posting totally using gg in few groups like
comp.lang.c, comp.lang.c++, comp.arch ... and it has added that pointless captcha.
What to expect from company that failed their early slogan "Don't be evil"? <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don%27t_be_evil>
