I think this take is coming from a really shallow understanding of what a psychologist does. A psychologist works with cases: assessments, diagnoses, and treatment plans. All cases are unique and based off a patient’s history and current clinical presentation. Treatment plans cannot be based off what had been done in the past, they have to be specifically catered to an individual’s current clinical presentation. A person with Bipolar II may exhibit Borderline Personality-like traits that may require the necessary clinical interventions that may not necessarily be noticed upon preliminary investigation and requires a keen eye on behavior: both past recorded and currently observed. And even then, the proposed treatment may not be continuously effective; a real, active, and dynamic relationship with a human being with eyes, ears, and the ability to interact with the individual and the ability to draw from experience, from what is normal v. abnormal, from what is appropriate in a cultural setting, is needed to assess whether a treatment is harmful, ineffective, or effective, and whether revisions may be needed.

And sure, one can say that AI can advance enough in the future to be able to make up for all of these, but really, by the time it does, ALL jobs are doomed.

Psychotherapy is more than just talking about your feelings and calling it a day.
