It seems likely to me that doctors whose job is almost or entirely about making diagnoses and prescribing treatments won't be able to keep up in the long run, where those who are more patient facing will still be around even after AI is better than us at just about everything.
If I were picking a specialty now, I'd go with pediatrics or psychiatry over something like oncology.
You are confusing the job with a subset of tasks. Some tasks can be automated, some won't. That doesn't mean LLMs, which cannot tell how many r's are in strawberry, will replace anyone.

But most of us live in America in 2026. There are a lot of interests that don't give a shit about you who would love if you to got your medical care from a machine that "cannot tell how many r's are in strawberry". And there a lot of useful idiots with no real medical issues who will loudly claim the machine is great.
AI is always good enough to replace the other guy's job.
