Depends on where you are. The ones near me actually do something. The pedestrian lights do not change to Walk unless a button is pushed.

In many cases, it activates the crossing signal for the entire intersection as well. As in, traffic will stop in all directions and you as a pedestrian can cross diagonally without issue.
