I'm flabbergasted you'd say such a thing.
The purpose of a chat bot is to have an interesting experience with an AI. That it may help you is secondary (and perhaps necessary for the provider to make a profit).
Even "purpose" might be anthropomorphizing the chatbot
Not at all. A hammer has a purpose. So does a knife. So does a bottle.
