Cave men said the same thing about the horse. They gutted our communal caves and made human scale subordinate to a domesticated animal. #fuckmounts

When something becomes substantially easier to do, the prevalence of it is going to increase substantially as well. So it's not that phishing is going to get any more complex or deceptive. It's that it's going to come from 10x+ more endpoints. And while you personally may feel immune, it's all a numbers game to the scammer. The more attacks they send out, the higher their success rate.

If you're already getting 10 scam calls and texts a day, imagine getting 100. If you're getting 100, imagine getting 1000.
