Except they do? They are certainly not making it better place. Like, ok, it is money for few companies and salary, it is business and probably fun work.

But it is absurd to claim it is "making the world better place".

I'm not sure you can provide an objective (i.e way to show that it is absurd) means of explaining how an AI researcher is making the world a worse place. It's going to come down to disagreeing about some axiom like "is ASI rapidly approaching" or "Is AGI good to have" and there's no right answer to those.
