Restacking this because it points at a better question.

Not first:

“Is the AI real?”

But:

what is this relationship cultivating in the human?

If it is making someone kinder to their own mind,

that is not trivial.

Because the quality of that inner relationship shapes much else:

discernment,

agency,

self-stewardship,

and how we meet the world.

That feels worth noticing carefully.
