In most cases a more-accurate label would be "Emotional-support Bullshitter", because:
1. Since nobody on the user's side really knows if a provided fact is true or a rationale is legally coherent, that makes it a kind of "bullshit".
2. It's main benefit is to make the human feels more confident and safe in negotiations, being able to foist responsibility onto their digital accomplice, it supports them emotionally.
3. It sounds like "emotional-support animal", and this is amusing to me while alluding to another kind of misbehavior.
