That’s a valid concern, especially in a system so focused on cutting costs.
What felt a bit different here is that the doctors helped define the evaluation standards.
If AI gets built with them instead of for them, maybe there’s still some hope it won’t just be about saving money.

Exactly correct. So eventually we’ll pay a nurse’s aide to type prompts into GPT the same price for a visit where we used to see an MD (and then an NP, and then a PA, and then a BSN, and then an RN…), and get charged the same.
AI is a tool to transfer wealth from the middle class to the ultra wealthy. If there is a brief intermediary period where quality of life improves for the poor, it's a temporary coincidence that hasn't been optimized away yet.
