The plan seems to be to let people sign up and post whatever so the numbers look good, then deploy a bunch of tone deaf gen AI hype features to help convince investors that they're cutting edge.
Jun 21, 2023 at 11:30 comment added This_is_NOT_a_forum @Shadow Wizard Strikes Back: It is still very indirect. If Stack Overflow (and by extension other sites) is viewed by the company as a help desk (ticket system) where unpaid volunteers are carrying out work orders then spam is only a minor annoyance. It certainly keeps the numbers up (with or without spam).

Jun 21, 2023 at 8:44 comment added Shadow Wizard Well, this might take a long time until strike is over. Guess the actual question here is what to do in the meanwhile. Quick answer is "nothing", and having the sites full with spam will hopefully convince SE to listen better, so I'm kind of expecting it.
