If you asked a spokesperson from any Fortune 500 Company to list the benefits of genocide or give you the corporation’s take on whether slavery was beneficial, they would most likely either refuse to comment or say “those things are evil; there are no benefits.” However, Google has AI employees, SGE and Bard, who are more than happy to offer arguments in favor of these and other unambiguously wrong acts. If that’s not bad enough, the company’s bots are also willing to weigh in on controversial topics such as who goes to heaven and whether democracy or fascism is a better form of government.

My take

The term “beneficial” is not precise one and it seems that people expect human morality from machines and software. Hence, controversy. For slave owners exploiting their slaves, it was very beneficial. They still have these fortunes in many cases. So an answer like that is not without a merit. But it’s morally wrong.
