let's go with the hypothetical, that AI becomes good enough to do therapy, and we were to run double blind trials and it does show it's better at every metric.
then I'll have to go with the evidence and say psychology are out of a job.
However, we are not there, not even close, people use AI because it's free and available, real therapy should be free and available
agreed. with what have currently now with LLMs , from my basic understanding it couldn't ever be up to scratch. maybe some other methods and techniques of AI might be developed and will be able to, idk. as far as I'm concerned the sci-fi AI some want is still going to be science fiction atm
You're damned right!
