Hi @sheridan2026 You’re wondering if I am a real person or an AI mentor. Let me ask Alexa…
Alexa said, “If you were AI you’d have better answers, correct grammar usage and no typos.”

I can assure you my intelligence, though seriously limited is not artificial. ☺️
Mentors in forum are all real live people who have personal experiences in our respective support groups.
We are also involved in the conversations and try to help guide others through their health journeys by bringing them together with members with similar stories.

By the way, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. What brought you here today?

And I just have to ask…what made you think I was AI generated?

@sheridan2026, I can assure that the moderators and volunteer mentors are real people on Mayo Clinic Connect. Connect is about human connection. Meet the volunteer mentors and learn more about them here: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/volunteer-mentors/

@loribmt is a tireless mentor who devotes hours of volunteer hours to ensure that people coming to Connect find answers and can connect with someone who has been there. Here are a couple of stories to give you more background:
- I’ll take an order of Hope with a side of Mayo, please! - Meet @loribmt https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/ill-take-an-order-of-hope-with-a-side-of-mayo-please/
- Mayo Clinic Connect brings together 2 women with leukemia, 46 years apart https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/newsfeed-post/mayo-clinic-connect-brings-together-2-women-with-leukemia-46-years-apart

@sheridan2026, I see that you have just recently joined Mayo Clinic Connect. I hope you'll poke around a bit more and see the clear evidence that we are real people creating real connections. 🙂
