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.

We don’t have stable lifelong learning yet

I covered that with the long term memory structure of an LLM.

The only problem we’d have is a delay in response on the part of the robot during conversations.

LLMs don’t have live longterm memory learning. They have frozen weights that can be finetuned manually. Everything else is input and feedback tokens. Those work on frozen weights, so there is no longterm learning. This is short term memory only.
