It's just imitating empathy though, may well be better at doing so than most people, but feelings aren't comforting when they're manufactured. I do kind of disagree with the AI response that it couldn't fulfill the role of a therapist though, it could certainly do a better job in emotional support than some people who actively harm their clients through malpractice or ignorance.

I suspect that the more saturated we become with AI creations, the more valuable individualistic expression will be. It's novel now because there's wider access to something which was previously difficult to create, but I think people will get tired of its limitations eventually and then we'll see a counter resurgence of people looking for things which are organically authentic.

I don't know how long that would take, though, it could be a century, and it will likely be the case that very few people are able to succeed.

Edit: I asked this question to the OpenAI chat bot and got the following:

"There will always be a need for jobs that involve creativity, empathy, and human interaction. Some examples of jobs that are likely to remain important in the future include:

Educators: AI can assist with learning, but it cannot replace the role of a teacher or mentor in guiding and inspiring students.

Healthcare professionals: AI can assist with diagnostics and data analysis, but it cannot replace the role of a healthcare provider in interacting with patients and providing care.

Artists and creative professionals: AI can assist with the creation of art, music, and other creative works, but it cannot replace the role of a human artist in bringing unique perspectives and emotions to their work.

Social workers and therapists: AI can assist with analyzing data and providing support, but it cannot replace the role of a human in providing emotional support and guidance to individuals in need.

Human resources professionals: AI can assist with recruiting and evaluating candidates, but it cannot replace the role of a human in building and maintaining relationships with employees and creating a positive work culture.

Overall, jobs that involve human interaction and require creativity, empathy, and problem-solving skills are likely to remain important in the future."
