I would pay $0.01 a minute to forward calls to something like this. (Up to $1/call or something)
I'm invisioning a marketplace of chatbots trying to pass the turing test (ideally armed with cancelled credit card numbers, fake postal addresses and bogus identities -- and willing to do absolutely anything to waste the callers time).

Aftee some years, the spammers will all be robots too, leading to an amazing world of robots arguing with robots over the phone, both pretending to be human.

A team of chatbots turns the economics around.
