No, but a GP can also not do those things and on top of that I've met some pretty terrible GP's :p

So maybe some classes of doctors are done...

Another thing to keep in mind: tons of people don't have access to any type of doctor at all (too expensive, too far away, queue too long, etc). Is current state of AI better or worse than no doctor at all? I don't know, but the answer is not obvious to me.

In those cases AI isn't competing with GP's, it's competing with internet searches.

A GP does a lot of hands-on work that is currently out of reach of a robot. And in addition, the interaction between the theoretical and practical parts of the job is quite complex.

With ageing populations in all western economies this is also needed as there won't be enough GPs around to service everybody.
