The chatbots fail this on every measure - they've driven hardware costs up, so computers are harder to get. They're closed proprietary bullshit (even the 'open source' ones are proprietary - if you don't have access to the full training data and paremeters, it's not free/libre or open.), they are activily detrimental to learning and developing new skills, and they do nothing to address the insecurity, precarity, and overwork that is pervasive in the lives of basically every marginalized person.

If this is your excuse for them - Then there are better options, and your time and money would be much more efficiently spent buying a poor person a cheap gnu/linux laptop and some programming books.
