Well, AI therapists already exist - that is considered to be truth, as that they are already being used. But therapist is made to make you able to go back to the society, not leave it, and talkign with ai, which is raised to answer your questions to make you pleasured, and not necessarily speak truth, it will likely make you more and more anti-social, but yes - it might replace bad psychologists and therapists, who's best advice is to be happy that you made your bed this morning

Humans need to relate and have compassion from a real human and there is no chance no fake ai can complete that feeling.

Interpersonal skills, especially emotional intelligence are the key traits of both psychiatrist & the various counseling professionals. These are the hardest for AI to duplicate.

yes, but it is not very effective, she responds to give you more pleasure than to tell the truth, and also a psychiatrist needs important skills for the profession such as empathy, something that is difficult to acquire from a robot, I have already tested these chats. talk, and it's not very good compared to real psychiatrists, it really could be that in the coming decades he will evolve even more and he may even have emotions and have these skills, like empathy as I said, but the risk for now is that this will dominate the field of psychology is low, very low

Whether it will exist is much different than whether or not it is actually effective.

Artificial Intelligence in 20 years will categorically outperform psychiatrists in both diagnosis and prescription. Social frameworks for allowing AI to hold a diagnostic or prescribing role should have been implemented by then.

Many people with schizofrenia and bipolar disorder will dissimulate and its not easy for machines to detect dissimulation.

Incorrect, you put far too much faith into machines, you focus too heavily on diagnosis, and seem to forget that a certain level of empathy is required to approach psychiatric issues on a holistic scale.

The amount of data and information that an AI can process cant be matched by us.
AI will remember each and every minute detail about the person once he tells it and by his past history data. AI will be able to suggest accurate strategies based on this. It might not happen suddenly but slowly slowly they will become more prominent.

As there is always a small chance of something happening but still psychiatrist is a job which requires humans understanding other humans so most likely it would never happen

There's no way psychiatrists would be replaced/automated, their most important feat is to understand the emotions of humans, and that won't be able to be replaced by robots in the next two decades.

It is extremely unlikely that AIs will handle psychological issues with pinpoint accuracy. In order to treat a human, you have to be a human. Yes, codes and programs will eventually learn how to handle particular patients, but not all problems are the same.
