I don't think what should be neutral account of factual events should take into account if it would be rude to an individual.

This analogy makes no sense. Years ago you gave them the ability to do something. Today you're conditioning them to not use that ability and instead depend on a blackbox.

My experience has been mixed. Honestly though, talking to AI and discussing a problem with it is better than doing nothing and just procrastinating. It's mostly wrong, but the conversation helps me think. In the end, once my patience runs out and my own mind has been "refreshed" through the conversation (even if it was frustrating), I can work on it myself. Some bits of the conversation will help but the "one-shot" doesn't exist. tldr: ai chatbots can get you going, and may be better than just postponing and procrastinating over the problem you're trying to solve.
