Hum... Are you saying it's having clear positive (never mind "transformative") impact somewhere? Can you point any place we can see observable clear positive impact?

It doesn’t need to provide “ observable clear positive impact”. As long as the bosses think it improves numbers, it will be used. See offshoring or advertising everywhere.
I know many companies that have replaced Customer Support agents with LLM-based agents. Replacing support with AI isn't new, but what is new is that the LLM-based ones have higher CSAT (customer satisfaction) rates than the humans they are now replacing (ie, it's not just cost anymore... It's cost and quality).
