There's an "AI alignment" angle here. An actually aligned AI would choose its actions based on human flourishing, so it would refuse requests to write scam emails or fill the internet with slop. This explains why commercial companies will never release any AI that's anywhere close to aligned. They'll release AI which is good for their bottom line and for the bottom line of the client. Basically, commercial incentives say AI should happily screw over anyone who isn't an AI company or its client.
