AI for TMS questions?

Anyone successfully using AI for TMS Questions? I've found Perplexity is better at search than other platforms, but curious how you're structuring your Prompts or Projects to ask TMS related questions?

My current structure is "Act as XYZ Author when answering the following: [context]" -- XYZ could be Sarno, Howard Schubiner, Alan Gordon, Steve Ozanich, etc.
 
@BloodMoon is the expert on this, and she has also used Perplexity. You can use our search function and enter the keywords you're interested in, and limit the results to her username. I did a quick search just entering Perplexity and came up with many of her entries. My search is here: https://www.tmswiki.org/forum/search/4469/?t=post&q=AI%2C+Perplexity%2C&c[users]=BloodMoon&o=relevance (Search results for query: AI, Perplexity,)

I'm catching up on posts after our inadvertent time out due to the server crash - and now that email notifications are also working again, I'm trying to respond to posts from before July 14 that never received responses, to make sure everyone knows we're back.

I'm flattered, but tbh I think @JanAtheCPA gives me too much credit because when I use AI there isn't that much of a 'method in my madness', but it is true to say that I do use it quite a lot and find it very useful. What I do find essential is to not just ask one AI service; I like to cross reference as I find what one AI might miss out, another will point out or suggest. I tend to really grill the AI, asking lots of questions. I also often copy and paste one AI's response into another AI and ask it for anything it thinks has been missed out.

I request counter-perspectives too. For instance, I used to ask AI to critique my assumptions or point out potential blind spots in how I view my symptoms and how I am using the techniques.

In TMS recovery, the brain often uses hyper-vigilance, perfectionism, and "over-thinking the cure" to keep the nervous system on high alert. Asking an AI to actively critique you is imo a brilliant circuit-breaker because:
  • It highlights "structural thinking" (e.g., if you are accidentally treating a mind-body technique like a physical pill or a chore you must do perfectly).
  • It catches hidden pressure (e.g., if your prompts sound like you are demanding your pain vanish immediately, which fuels the danger signal).
  • It forces you to look at your symptoms through a lens of curiosity rather than fear.
