No. It actually helps. Numerous studies on comparing water to drinks with artificial sweeteners on who has better weight loss.

Many studies show that people that drink sugar free drinks tend to be over weigh more often and some studies show weigh is gained with people that choose that type of drink. People tend to support what d=fits their agenda i find. I find water has always worked well for me. So i don't drink sugar free.

8 or so years ago I dropped close to 70 lbs while drinking and eating only Stevia as a sweetener in a keto diet. No alteration to blood glucose from Stevia at all, checked constantly with a meter. So I cant speak to any other of the artificial sweeteners but I stand by Stevia being the best option I know of. Definitely did not seem to hinder Weight-loss.

As we tend to be people that inject things into our body health likely isn't the biggest priority. It is more a secondary issue for many. But if something doesn't have a real benefit i tend to avoid it.

If they contain zero calories, the answer is no. This is not a matter of opinion, this is well established science.
