That’s really clever. (And the people pissed off aren’t potential customers anyway.)

As far as I can tell, almost no one is a potential A.I. customer. Devs use GitHub Copilot but it’s not a game changer or anything.
I’m not an A.I. hater. I think it’ll eventually bring great medical advancements and prove valuable. I just think it’s overhyped for average consumers. I don’t think it’s going to be something as revolutionary as smartphones or even Snake on Nokia phones. To me, it feels like a “nice to have” tech more than “essential” tech. And the downsides are considerable. I don’t suspect any Sci Fi shit will happen but making spammers more efficient isn’t worth the carbon footprint.
