This is why I'm comfortable looking into soft sciences like social work or mental health. Ain't gon replace therapists with AI anytime soon.

Hm? I'm sure people are trying, and not to say AI won't be incredibly useful, too. I just think there's quite a few avenues to go down with it.

Idk.. I find pi AI incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in having a low-stakes conversation about their mental health or just to have a general conversation about what they're feeling. I honestly don't use it enough (like when I'm super bummed and have no one to talk to). So far, it's always been 1000% helpful

They will, for the simple reason that the average person won't be able to tell the difference in the short term. AI isn't about "replacing" people in the entirety from cause to result. It's about providing a plausible facsimile of any role such that company X makes money while relegating the actual role to a niche.
