I think a little empathy is in order. A lot of the people using those things for therapy, emotional contact, personal advice, etc. don’t have a lot of choice if they’re isolated, lonely or don’t know any better. All of the things listed are woefully inaccessible to a shocking amount of people for a lot of very complicated reasons. Yes, even friends. All of those people are victims of monetised parasocial relationships.

They think it’s helpful, because it is explicitly trained to deceive them into believing it is, while telling them how awesome they are.

Fuck the overlords for wanting to keep it this way, however. I’m sure Nazi Cuck could just give everyone therapy access if he wasn’t a nazi cuck instead of building another datacenter to generate poorly drawn fetish porn. But no, let’s all pursue some dystopian bullshit instead of fixing any problems with society.
