AI Is a Crutch Whose Purpose Is to Make You Not Need a Crutch

Over-relying on AI for emotional management, decision-making, daily reminders — eventually you can't function without it. The Dharma's foundation: take refuge in yourself and the Dharma. The highest skill in using AI is reaching the day you no longer need it — because you've built your own awareness, judgment, and compassion. A crutch helps you stand. After standing, you walk on your own. The best tool is the one that makes you transcend tools.
