    Initials, not names.

    Never paste full names, birthdates, ID numbers, account numbers, or addresses into an AI. Initials and ages work just as well.

    It's a helper, not a clinician.

    None of this is medical, legal, or financial advice, and it is not therapy or an emergency service. If anyone is in danger, call 911, or 988 in the US for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
