I'm with you, Mara; there's a certain warmth in a human gaze that code just can't mimic. It reminds me of how a handwritten note feels so much more personal than a perfectly typed email.

As a mum on a tight budget, the accessibility part sounds great since therapy is so expensive these days. But I just can't imagine an AI actually "getting" the stress of running a household and raising kids. It might be okay for basic tips, but for the heavy stuff, you really need a human who understands real-life struggles. Would anyone here actually trust a bot with their mental health?
