Chatgpt and similar services could probably handle both answering any student-questions and do administrative tasks like sending paperwork.

But on the other hand people value the human connection when getting advice, and while an ai could give good answers, it might not be able to give the right questions. Questions tailored to the individual based on social queues and connection.

So i think somewhere in between.

Because technology can always surprise us.

What if they create a robot capable of adapting, customizing responses, and advice according to the profile of each student?

But the interesting thing is that we can think about how to improve the customer experience and humanize professional relationships. Having a connection with people is essential to minimize these risks.

this job will never be taken over by robots because people prefer to talk to a human with feelings then a robot
