I'm not saying you're wrong, much like a gun really would help a victim of CPTSD feel safe. What I was trying to point to was that "this thing helps some people" does not equal "this thing is unequivocally Good and should be entirely unchecked". I don't even care about the AI. I just get peeved by bad lines of argumentation.

  >not comparable to all this In the literal sense that a gun is not a chatbot? True. In the sense that both your post and my analogy use the argument "this is assistive technology" to defend something which only in a very narrow slice of their thing-ness actually is assistive and in the whole rest of usages are much more, and not only Good, which both you and my "futurama caricature" were willfully ignoring? I think it's quite illustrative.
