“I don’t want people to be afraid of anything. Knowledge is the best defense." Ruth Werner, Hands of History #24
…(I have a concern about) the use of AI (artificial intelligence) machines in lieu of learning. When the oil hits the skin, (the quality of care) is between you and your client, YOUR skills, your history, your education, your filters, and THEIR values, their priorities, the things they like best and the things they like least. Chat GPT (or similar generative artificial intelligence chatbots) are never going to help you find what the spot (in most need of intervention) is…. Ultimately the decision-making has to be you the therapist, and not your Google machine.” – ibid
