Not just ethics but law.
Even just using public data, it's a copyright lawsuit waiting to happen. But dipping into private data must surely create even better opportunities to disassemble such unscrupulous endeavors to the last brick.
It's questionable whether AI is good for society even if used in the ways one can narrowly suggest are good. I think our unemployment levels will skyrocket and we don't have a good enough understanding of the need for UBI.
But the idea of turning such tech to "hacking" raises the threat stakes and brings liability into sharp focus. We need a good strong liability suit, if not a criminal trial, to set the deep pockets makers of these things to pondering why they want to go down this rathole at all.
I think it was generally a bad thing that the DMCA moved toward criminalizing copyright violation. It should have remained a civil matter. It was all about slinging power around. But if there are going to be criminal laws against using works you don't have permission for, this would be a great place to see those teeth exercised for some social good.
