This is a whataboutism. In the same way that I view nicotine, gambling, alcohol companies as wrong to try to trigger existing neuroses in their customers with their ads, ai companies are unethical for their role in triggering antisocial behavior, and even promoting it, in their users. "What about psychotic people" isn't a valid defense of llms.

They are "guns don't kill people"-ing it. Ignore them.
