AI is powerful, accessible, and incredibly easy to misuse. In this talk, I’ll walk through a series of intentionally provocative projects I’ve built, like an app that writes breakup texts using GPT or one that helps people generate fake excuses to skip meetings. These aren’t just jokes—they’re experiments meant to expose how AI can quietly enable unethical behavior. Through these weird and sometimes uncomfortable tools, I’ll explore the ethical grey zones we often ignore: how small design choices shape user intent, how automation detaches us from responsibility, and how quickly things can spiral when no one’s watching. This session isn’t about solutions, it’s about asking better questions. If you’re building with AI, you need to know just how easy it is to cross the line—sometimes without realizing it.
