I disagree but only on the grounds that they were never doing anything before.

I really think this depends on what you are doing. For instance work that primarily involves relationships and interaction in meatspace? Unchanged. Physicians? Unchanged.
Ambient scribes are now common but they are of very poor quality, and in some specialities only replace low paid labor (ex: ED) instead of reducing work load. Poor choice for progress notes and admission notes, unnecessary for procedure notes, really the only thing AI helps with is hospital courses even then the edit process is going to be key because the reliability isn't there.
I should really do an effort post on this, but medicine is noticing and attempting to address never-skilling, mis-skilling and deskilling, which will absolutely be a problem in professional domains in the future (and is already a problem in education).
I agree with OP - yes we've seen some amazing feats but translators and cars still exist, both of which were promised to be replaced years and years ago.
I would hazard a guess that the majority of healthcare workers have encountered a patient who experienced life altering injury, paralysis, and even death from a fall of two stories or less.
It's not certain, but it can easily and obviously be quite bad.
