Rejecting art/design commissons

Recently I was approached with a company that started with a "J" for me to redesign their website to be more frutiger aero. I was initially intrigued, but asked them who they are. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of countless AI... "chatbot" sites.
Warning: Descriptions may be NSFW, but no NSFW imagery:

Needless to say, I rejected the offer. They tried to convince me with the site's popularity and that the use of AI isn't "bad" or whatever, but I didn't know how to respond, and forgot about it. (I didn't see the NSFW until after I rejected them) Just today they reached out offering a full-time job.
NO THANKS.
Does anyone else have similar stories?

OF COURSE ALL THE AI CHATBOTS ARE ADVERTISED AS BEING YOUR FUTURE "BOYFRIEND/GIRLFRIEND!!"
That's so manipulative and shitty.
Edit: Forgot to answer the question. Every time I apply for a remote job lately, it ends up being a scam. I remember I almost took this job before finding out they wanted my bank information.

two things:
1. I FREAKING HATE AI CHATBOTS. they are inherently anti-human. the thing that makes humanity special is its social bonds, and talking with a chatbot can never replicate that feeling
2. yes, i’ve rejected customers in my animated music video business before. the most common factors are: undercharging, last-minute deadlines, hateful lyrics, NSFW content, and AI audio. or rarely, asking for 3D animation, which i can’t do

Geez these AI chat bots man... I wouldn't be caught dead chatting with ones like these. At least make it Cirno from TouHou or something... But yeah I would've totally turned this down.

The same company, or someone else?
