Verdict
While certain technical aspects of counseling may be automated, the nuanced interpersonal skills required for effective counseling, particularly for the Deaf community, are less likely to be fully replaced by AI. Therefore, the risk of substitution is moderate, but human counselors will remain essential for emotional and cultural understanding.
