Relevant quote:

After the pilot period, Garcia and the team issued a survey to the clinicians, asking them to report on their experience. They reported that the AI-generated drafts lightened the cognitive load of responding to patient messages and improved their feelings of work exhaustion despite objective findings that the drafts did not save the clinicians’ time. That’s still a win, Garcia said, as this tool is likely to have even broader applicability and impact as it evolves.

A potential problem at many places, I'm sure. But of all places, Stanford is one that's likely to have less of this issue than others. Stanford has plenty of world renown doctors and when you're world renown you get a lot more pay and a lot more leeway to work how you want to.
