Nope.

AI will be a tool used to by doctors, a sorely needed tool given how brutally overworked most of the profession is already. But you still need humans in the loop if you want to see advancements in the field. A neural network can generalize existing knowledge and practices but it's still not doing innovation, research and making novel observations.

There's also a complete absence of mobile and flexible free roaming robotics that are safe around untrained specialist operators.

There's so much generalized simplifications about what people actually do in their professional roles and an equal amount of hype about AI capabilities that we're getting ridiculous flashback predictions like the early atomics era nuclear powered car ones.

"you still need humans in the loop if you want to see advancements" Would AI researchers not be the ones making the advancements? I assume physical robots would get to the point where they can operate without an operator 24/7

The AI researcher can improve the AI system. As in make chatgpt run on a 2015 version smartwatch.

But that will not add novel chemotherapy regiments to the clinical practice of the healthbot.

Humans are constantly learning and observing. The AI systems we use today generalize based on a gathered dataset. Teach an AI what is right today but wrong tomorrow and it will keep being wrong until fine tuned again. There are degrees of flexibility and innovation we still haven't captured with AI

I think it'll be hard to have AI researchers. Problem solving it even just identifying a problem space is difficult to turn into an algorithm, especially the more fundamental you go in your approach. Human creativity still likely still be essential for a long time.

Human creativity can be replicated by AI considering its just the result of environmental factors and human experiences

It's all just computation, that's the century old original hypothesis of AI.

But until we actually see universally generalized human traits in what we build we're not there.
