Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
<grin> Let practicalness decide about that. If it helps & makes for a better life, it helps. If it doesn't quite get there / adds other complications, discard.
