Sorry, but it essentially cured my ADHD. In my experience, AI is more effective than lisdexamfetamine at allowing me to turn my ideas into reality.

AI stigmatization is ableism.

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.

You quoted a Futurama caricature that is not comparable to all this, apparently because the words "assistive technology" were used.

>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.
