Nothing will ever be free. Especially health care and lawyers.
If you ask someone in 1980 if the world's information would be free and searchable from anywhere, they would refer you to a library. AI is good at distilling complex interlinked data, which is law and medicine. I certainly think we'll see big changes. Moore's law has computing power costs halving every 18 months.
It may not be free, but it may be cheap enough that government or insurance pays for visits with no cost and point of access.
It can be cheap enough to become socialised. AI is a means of production. A very efficient one at that. If it is publicly owned (open sourced models being a very good start to it), its effects can be extremely positive.
