IA cannot replace a psychologist because the psychologist have an emotional intelligence, empathy, a capacity to analyse and integrate information on a specific person. The IA is maybe useful but don't have any of the criteria that are necessary to replace psychologist's in their profession. These criteria are the reason why we confess to them because we know they have a high emotional intelligence and because they know how human think because they are human themselves and the IA doesn't have any feeling.

The experience they gained during the time they practice this profession is that now they understand the reason that can explain why sometimes we act different or why we feel bad, etc. When they retire psychologists had help a plenty of peoples to understand their problems and how to solve them, they helped people with their mental health.
