"...for people lacking the wealth or living in areas with no access to fresh food, cheap disastrously unhealthy food is a godsend."
"...for people lacking the wealth or living in areas with no access to decent housing, unmaintained dangerous apartment buildings are a godsend."
Why is it ok to expect poor people to be endangered and suffer through indignity just for the "crime" of being poor?
Here are three options:
1. Nothing
2. Something slightly better
3. Something excellent
Maybe you should consider that an understanding of these alternatives is completely compatible with wanting the best outcome for everyone and that, in the absence of situation 3, situation 2 is better than nothing.
AI "therapists" aren't necessarily "something better" than nothing[0]. Mental health is just as important as physical health. If Yahoo Answers and amateur back alley surgeries are unacceptable physical health support then dangerously unqualified AI "therapists" should also be unacceptable mental health support.

Those are bad analogies. And they shouldn't be in quotes because nobody said them. An LLM tutor is not a threat to anyone's safety or health.
So, you prefer to starve children to death to avoid risk of Diabetes as they grow old.
