Are physicians worried about computers machine learning their jobs?

The Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) published a viewpoint titled "Unintended Consequences of Machine Learning in Medicine" [Cabitza2017JAMA]. The title is eye-catching, and it is an interesting read touching upon several important points of concern to those working at the cross roads of machine-learning (ML) and decision support systems (DSS). This viewpoint is timely, arriving at a time when others are also expressing concern about inflated expectations of machine learning and its fundamental limitations [Chen2017NEJM]. However, several points put forth as alarming in this piece are in my opinion unsupported. In this quick take, I hope to convince you that the reports of unintended consequences specifically due to ML have been greatly exaggerated.
