Claims that spam can be parsed for sentiment and topics and even turned against scammers using cloud ML, demonstrating Azure Cognitive Services Language API and the Text Analytics SDK with opinion mining enabled. Uses a real stat — 362 billion emails in a week with ~84% spam — feeds ~20 random junk messages through the service, shows a pie of categories, and runs a .NET console demo hitting the endpoint. Also cites the old Re:scam idea of chatbots wasting scammers time and notes the free Azure tier and practical success of extracting topics and sentiment.
