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.
The potential customers here are whatever companies they inevitably sell the data and product to down the road.
