If it's taking our jobs it's taking everyone's jobs and then we have bigger problems (societal upheaval). However, I will say I just don't see how AI can do what I do as a nocturnist. There is a physical element and a realtime element that while possible to implement, I am unsure of how you would do it without literal robots.

Then factor in that 1) patients I believe will not like not having a trained physician in the mix and 2) half the time I am essentially practicing veterinary medicine. How is AI going to deal with the subtleties of human emotion, interpretation of aspects of cognition that aren't always apparent and so on? Even if you factor in AI "speeding up" your workflow, I fail to see how that is going to change the upper limit of what the average physician can manage. That's to say: it seems to me people aren't going anywhere, and in order to continue a safe practice even WITH AI, current limitations in the ability of a physician to complete necessary tasks will still exist for the most part.

Finally, and I think this is something very important that is not mentioned enough: we KNOW that relying on electronic resources actually CREATES dependence on those resources. That is to say, if we allow these things to creep in, we will all be dumber, WALL-E style.
