reminds me of descartes. I was mentioning him the other day to my schizo mother in law, who hears voices, to offer the comfort of "I think, therefore I am". The idea being that during her worst episodes she might latch onto the thought that she is thinking, so while the voices _are_ scary; she still exists, she's still in control, she is thinking, therefore she is.
Anyway, I casually mentioned he did a lot of his thinking in an oven and her curiousity was really piqued by that idea. Which is funny because every time I mention it to someone, that's the bit that is most interesting to them. I'm not convinced that an AI would necessarily pick up on that detail being of note as much as a human would.

Sadly some searching suggests that this fascinatingly eccentric image of Descartes sticking his head in an oven for a really good think is a mistranslation of "Descartes did a lot of his thinking in a room warmed by an oven".
Best of luck to your mother-in-law in finding a way to deal with her voices, though. <3
