    One could argue removing financial power from people who would use it to harm those around them is the ethical choice. Obviously, it would be more beneficial to scam the wealthy, but scamming those who give to the wealthy that would harm others could be framed as pre-empting that gift.

      If I’m using an AI to scam Nazis is that still ethical, or is the AI usage still problematic?
