Not for me. The computer, at least, doesn't know that it's shamelessly taking advantage of your grief to grift. But a human would know. Isn't that worse?

There's a human behind every computer. It's just the same, except more.

I think what potentially makes it worse, is that humans will be tempted to just start the personal tailored AI ad helper and not feel as responsible for it, as if they would have written it by themself.

The way it is easier for people to not know, what is going on in a conventional slaughterhouse and meat factory and just enjoy the meat. In theory they know, but they choose not to know the details.
