Think of it like alcohol.
Some people benefit from the relaxing effects of a little bit. It helped humanity get through ages of unsafe hygiene by acting as a sanitizer and preservative.
For some people, it is a crutch that inhibits developing safe coping mechanisms for anxiety.
For others it becomes an addiction so severe, they literally risk death if they don't get some due to withdrawal, and death by cirrhosis if they keep up with their consumption. They literally cannot live without it or with it, unless they gradually taper off over days.
My point isn't that AI addiction will kill you, but that what might be beneficial might also become a debilitating mental crutch.

Better analogy is processed food.
It makes calories cheaper, it’s tasty, and in some circumstances (e.g. endurance sports or backpacking) is materially enhances what an ordinary person can achieve. But if you raise a child on it, to where it’s what they reach for by default, they’re fucked.
