I think a good comparison is when you go to a store and there are salesmen there. Nobody wants to talk to a salesman. They can almost never help a customer with any issue, since even an ignorant customer usually knows more about the products in the store than the salesmen. Most customers hate salesmen and a sustainable portion of customers choose to leave the store or not enter because of the salesmen, meaning the store loses income. Yet this has been going on forever. So just prepare for the worst when it comes to AI, because that's what you are going to get, and neither ethical sense, business sense or any rationality is going to stop companies from showing it down your throat. They don't give a damn if they will lose income or even bankrupt their companies, because annoying the customer is more important.
