When they needed investors' money, they were selling this "Lazy" idea that AI will lower the employment costs (i.e. will allow them to fire 80% of the lazy and entitled human workers and replace them with cheap silicon-slaves).

Now they need consumers' money and it turns out that the message "our product is smarter than all of you peasants, and you will all soon be unemployed, LOL" doesn't sit well with consumers.
