>especially as we won’t work on product marketing for AI stuff, from a moral standpoint, but the vast majority of enquiries have been for exactly that.

I intentionally ignored the biggest invention of the 21st century out of strange personal beliefs and now my business is going bankrupt

I don't think it's fair to call them "strange" personal beliefs

It probably depends on your circle. I find those beliefs strange, seems like moral relativism.

I personally would call them ignorant beliefs.

Yes I find this a bit odd. AI is a tool, what specific part of it do you find so objectionable OP? For me, I know they are never going to put the genie back in the bottle, we will never get back the electricity spent on it, I might as well use it. We finally got a pretty good Multivac we can talk to and for me it usually gives the right answers back. It is a once in a lifetime type invention we get to enjoy and use. I was king of the AI haters but around Gemini 2.5 it just became so good that if you are hating it or criticizing it you aren’t looking at it objectively anymore.
