We are starting to see impacts. At least in my field (medicine,) AI scribes are allowing for the replacement of human scribes, decreasing physician workload, increasing documentation detail, and is allowing physicians to capture more of what they did in their billing.
Those last three words, “in their billing”, is the real terrifying part. The AI is only making easier the bit of the job that shouldn’t need doing in the first place.
I don’t understand what you mean. Do you expect doctors to work for free?
I expect doctor’s visits to not have bills.
How do you expect doctors to get paid, then? Do you work for free?
So, which part of the US are you from?
Are you trying to advance the claim that no medical practitioner outside the US ever generates an invoice, even to send to their own government-funded coverage?
I expect even FALGSC hospitals still need billing infrastructure, if only to account for all the MRI time and experimental hallucinogens.
