Part of the issue is that this rush to transition to AI is not done to increase quality of work, but to sav time and costs. If the point was to improve the treatment, keeping a human doctor plus AI might result in better outcomes. But AI or no AI, a for-profit medical system won't elliminate health inequalities.

It's also worth keeping in mind not all forms of work are actually enhanced by AI participation. Journalists aren't aided by language models that regularly hallucinate false informations.
