Computers themselves replaced computers (yeah, a job title). Your medical software certainly automatizes someone else's job, otherwise no one will pay you to write them. You just don't care about them.

Or you do, but you believe it's worth it because your software helped more patients, or improved the overall efficiency and therefore created more demand and jobs - a belief many pro-AI people hold as well.

The job used to be the patients'. Manually managing type 1 diabetes isn't a fun job. Try reading Think like a pancreas for the fun details.

Patient outcomes are significantly better with modern technology.

Yeah, okay.
