To be perfectly honest, I've never heard anything other than horror stories about working at Amazon, so I wouldn't ever consider working there unless I was in a really bad place with no other way to pay my bills.
To hedge against that scenario, I used to do the standard quick, polite response. Not anymore. All that got me was even more spam, and even more annoying spam, to boot. Sometimes identical messages, and sometimes messages about how they're trying "one last time" since I obviously must have missed the first N attempts... hilariously, I did't get those kinds of messages any of the times I actually didn't respond!
Not only am I almost certainly talking to automated software, but exceptionally low quality software at that! Now I'm thinking even if I do ever become desperate I'd be better off living in a van for a while than working at a place like this.
