We use these tools as know-it-all assistants that can answer questions in all areas of human knowledge. Their answers are never grounded in the empirical world of the senses. They don't have "skin in the game" and will happily change their opinion diametrically if you present the same question from a different light. They reinforce conventional wisdom by offering generic solutions to local problems with local variables. Our over-reliance on them will atrophy our reading and writing skills. We also use them as "rephrasers" to make ourselves sound better, supposedly. This is destroying genuine human connection and communication.
