Why aren't we (I) seeing massive ChatGPT/GPT4 spam attacks, or are they already here and just too good?

ChatGPT could probably write better text than much of the SPAM I've been fighting off for years (email, forums). Technical methods that screen most of this stuff before anything would look at actual text probably remain far more important.

We've seen GPT-3 comments being banned from Stack Overflow. I also saw some people just copying the answer from ChatGPT to answer comments on Reddit. The good thing is that they all follow a certain structure that internet comments mostly don't follow, so they are easy to spot.

Actually, we have started seeing it already. In my company, we have been getting lots of spam attacks(Microsoft Outlook) whose content is looks genuinely written by human being. If it not were for the email domain, we would not have been able to guess the spam.
