ML PhD student torn between a strong AI research team and a product built on exploiting insecurities

An EU-based ML PhD student shortlisted for internships and found one AI company whose research is excellent but whose marketing 'exploits people's insecurities' with a mediocre product. They ask the community whether to join a team whose product conflicts with their ethics if the research work and supervision are great, and are open to other 3-4 month unpaid internships.
