All spiders are cute ù_ù
Quite ironically, most spiders are harmless and extremely useful, only a few species are medically important to most people (allergies play a big part in the reaction) and even less are actually dangerous. Caution is still advised because they do have chompers that can hurt anyway and an infected bite can happen too, but fear of spiders does most of the damage because people panic and inadvertently cause bites :')

I'm one of the allergic ones and had a friend suffer massive necrosis reaction from a brown recluse spider bite. And there are a LOT of arachnophobes out there. I tend to use jumping spiders to introduce them to people, because they're smaller, look absolutely harmless, and don't trigger the arachnophobe reaction near as strong, as, say, a wolf spider.
People still look at me askance when I tell them the best thing they can have in their house is a spider minding its own business, because that spider's taking out nastier things that live in the walls. Predators are IMPORTANT.

Yeah some caution is necessary indeed, even if the bites are most likely dry it's always better not to get bit.
Jumping spiders are also the only "properly" intelligent group of species and they even show curiosity towards us, while most other spiders are just grumpy lazy bums who want to eat and be left alone xD
I just love to show people australian huntsman spiders, if you let them vibe and chill in your house you have a roommate that acts as security guard against all the nastier possibilities, plus they're big enough that you usually see them :v
