I think one common answer which jobs cannot be replaced by AI is: Jobs that rely on compassion and real empathy. I don't really think my therapists would have to worry that AI will replace them. However I already consulted an AI as therapist chat bot. Well I was quite suicidal and depressed to that time so it often only answered the same reply to talk to a professional or to call a suicide hotline. I cannot remember all the details it is some years ago but it was quite repetitive. ChatGPT is far more advanced and I am fascinated by it. Though I cannot imagine that this chat bot could ever replace a human therapist. Maybe one could use it additionally. I find it pretty disturbing that in many countries the people are so desperate for proper health care that they are being forced to use such an AI as substitution.
Besides of AI there are also therapy pets I read. I think I am not a person who could profit a lot of it. Though there are many people whom these pets can help. I think that these pets are also additional help and might not be able to replace a human therapist entirely. But I am not fully sure.
The notion that therapists should have souls might be popular. However when I saw in the eyes of some psychiatrists I wondered whether they had souls. Lol. I have met way more compassionate psychologists than psychiatrists. I perceived these people sometimes as completely numb or cold. When I think about it maybe an AI would be less concerning at least we don't expect of a machine to have a soul. As with the psychiatrists I have made bad experiences. I have met 3 decent ones. So not everyone is the same but it took huge effort to find someone who still has empathy.
My first psychiatrist sent me to a workplace for disabled people. Which was extremely detrimental (also for my suicidality) and it was simply pure torture. He did not give a fuck. Gladly I did not went there after two times. But I sweared that day that I won't further let me humiliate that way.
Then there was another psychiatrist. She was a long time in that business. I suffered extremely at that time and she did not even try to show compassion. I had the feeling even if I beheaded myself in front of her she would not have cared. She probably has witnessed a lot of suicides and tragedies in her life. It is probably a hard job to listen to suffering people 24/7 all the time. I have witnessed different coping mechanisms of different therapists. Some believed in religion, some considered drug addicted people as fools (made a dichotomy between patients) and some became extremely numb and cold. I ask myself how many suicides that person already experienced. I was struggling a lot that time. She just presribed me that pills. Sometimes she acted like she would care about my well-being. But she was not interested in my case at all. I am very glad about my current psychiatrist. She is pretyt popular and many patients want to come to her. I am not surprised at all after meeting many of these coldhearted people.
However the pills they give me help me a lot. And I am glad I changed my mind on taking them. This was one of the best decisions in the past years. I am rambling. I just wanted to demonstrate well the argument humans are better therapists because they have a soul is difficult. I had the feeling after looking in her eyes maybe she has none. Lol. ChatGPT at least pretends to care about me.
