I would say we all (industrial countries, middle-class) have years of practice in putting aside moral and ethical implications of our way of life. AI is just another instance of the same problem.
In our wealth and our perceived superiority, we convince one another that we have a right to prosperity at the expense of others and cling to our privileges. Our media, politics, culture, and lifestyle enable this cognitive dissonance. Fuel by greed and capitalism.

@StefanGaller @Joshsharp this, 100%. i have ethical issues with gen-ai and won't use it but i've driven cars my whole life 🙃 (cars are at least useful, though humans did fine without them for a long time, and there were probably plenty of weirdos who held out against them as dangerous and disruptive back in the day. they were not wrong)
