I think the one thing we will find out with the AI/Chatbot/LLM boom is: Most economic activity is already reasonably close to a local optimum. Either you find a way to change the whole process (and thereby eliminate steps completely) or you won't gain much.

That's true for AI-slop-in-the-media (most of the internet was already lowest effort garbage, which just got that tiny bit cheaper) and probably also in medicine (a slight increase in false negatives will be much, much more expensive than speeding up doctors by 50% for image interpretation). Once you get to the point where some other doctor is willing (and able) to take on the responsibility of that radiologist, then you can eliminate that kind of doctor (but still not her work. Just the additional human-human communication)
