As a developer, I hate when the services I use have chatbots that I'm forced to interact with, even as front-line help before taking me to a human agent.

I don't know where I'd land if a client offered me good money to make them a support chatbot.

You mean you think you could create a chatbot that doesn't suck ? Could you please elaborate on that a little bit :)
I mean I wouldn't want to perpetuate something that I hate using myself.

It's not unethical, like if I were to build software for a cigarette company or something.

But if I hate chatbots, no matter how much I'm being paid, I shouldn't be building chatbots. That said, obviously there's a dollar amount at which I'd be swayed.
