I just have different moral preferences. I think its morally wrong to do illegal/morally wrong/irresponsible things in general, whether I am using a hammer, a car, a company, or AI.

It's worse to ask someone else to break a window with a hammer for me, but the window still got broken, and the person whose window it was is still sad/out of money/etc.

The thought experiment was that if you were doing illegal things with an AI, you would not feel bad, but if you found out that the AI was a person, you would feel bad. That is very strange to me, more a feeling of guilt/shame.
