Very good potential

I honestly believe there is potential in using AI for a lot of good use. I’ve seen what chemical treatment can do to a person who has been diagnosed incorrectly and if advanced technology can properly detect and assist a professional in treatment without the likes of chemical dependency, I’m all in.
