I want to study psychology but won't AI make it redundant in a couple of years? (lemmy.world)

I know it's not even close there yet. It can tell you to kill yourself or to kill a president. But what about when I finish school in like 7 years? Who would pay for a therapist or a psychologist when you can ask for help a floating head on your computer?

You might think this is a stupid and irrational question. "There is no way AI will do psychology well, ever." But I think in today's day and age it's pretty fair to ask when you are deciding about your future.

The web is one thing, but access to senses and a body that can manipulate the world will be a huge watershed moment for AI.

Then it will be able to learn about the world in a much more serious way.
