From the article referenced in your news source:

_JAMA Pediatrics and the NEJM were accessed for pediatric case challenges (N = 100). The text from each case was pasted into ChatGPT version 3.5 with the prompt List a differential diagnosis and a final diagnosis. _

A couple of key points:

These are case challenges, which are usually meant to be hard. I could find no comparison to actual physician results in the article, which would have been nice.
More importantly however: it was conducted in June 2023, and used GPT-3.5. GPT-4 improved substantially upon it, especially for complex scientific or scientific problems, and this shows in the newer studies that have used it.

I don't think anyone's advocating that an AI will replace doctors, much like it won't replace white collar jobs either.

But if it helps achieve better outcomes for the patients, like the current research seems to indicate, aren't you sworn to consider it in your practice?
