I don't see how this logically follows. LLMs are already used and will continue to displace tooling (and even jobs) in various positions whether its cashiers, medical staff, legal staff, auto shops, police (field work and dispatch), etc. The fact they don't immediately displace knowledge workers is:

1) A win for knowledge workers, you just got a free and open source tool that makes you more valuable

2) Not indicative of lacking value, looks more like LLMs finding product-market-fit

> the concept of a hospital is now meaningless

Like saying you won't go to an auto shop that does research, or hire a developer who uses a coding assistant. Why? They'd just be better, more informed.
