I would make sense that depressed people use AI as an assistive tool in their daily lives.

My hypothesis is that depressed people use AI more for companionship/sexual roleplaying than as an assistive tool. Though you could count that as "assistive" as well, I guess. Depression, loneliness, and a lack of social contacts are highly correlated.
One interesting next step would be correlating "AI" use with how much of a social life those users have.
