Attackers don't have a monopoly on LLM expertise, defenders can also use LLMs for obfuscation.

Technology arms races are well understood.

I hate LLM companies, I guess I'm going to use OpenAI API to "obfuscate" the content or maybe I will buy an NVIDIA GPU to run a llama model, mhm maybe on GPU cloud.

With tiny amounts of forum text, obfuscation can be done locally with open models and local inference hardware (NPU on Arm SoC). Zero dollars sent to OpenAI, NVIDIA, AMD or GPU clouds.

Okay the battle is already lost from the beginning.

There are alternatives to NVIDIAmaxing with brute force. See the Chinese paper on DeepSeek V3, comparable to recent GPT and Claude, trained with 90% fewer resources. Research on efficient inference continues.

What specifically are you suggesting? Is this a project that already exists or a theory of yours?

Markov chains are ancient in AI-years, and don't need a GPU.
