>humour The word you should have used is authoritarianism, which this writer has, alas, in spades. Your users are more important than your sense of self worth, in this industry. Nobody ships ego. We ship working software: to users who find it valuable. |

I agree that's what's most likely to bring you financial and reputational success, but I also think there are a lot of things people can and do sell that are various incarnations of snake oil, at best.
This perhaps gets a little philosophical, but: is it ethical to sell someone something they don't need, and doesn't actually help them, even if they believe they need it, and over time even believe they've been helped by it?
I think a lot of the applications of "AI" today can fall under that umbrella, given the "right" customer.
