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

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.
