Them: Hi, this is <recruiter>, at <company>. Are you currently looking for a new opportunity?

Me: I am!

Them: My client is looking for <list of skills/experience which I have>. Can I send you the job description?

Me: Certainly!

Them: Okay, I've sent it.

Me: <reviewing> ... developing agentic AI for <X part of> the banking sector ...

Me: No, thank you.

Them: Pardon?

Me: The job is developing "AI" to be used against the financially vulnerable.
That's unethical, and I won't do it.

Them: But you're looking for work?

Me: Yes, but not unethical work.

Them: ... but you're looking for work?

What is so hard to understand about having ethical standards?
