Lol one of their pieces of evidence that doctors will be replaced is the frequency people use WebMD. WebMD leads to MORE doctor's visits because people think they have a brain tumor when it's really a migraine.
The average person has no idea how to diagnose their own illnesses, and differential diagnoses are huge for common nonspecific symptoms. Not to mention, patients are unreliable historians. A knowledgeable person has to take histories and perform physical exams.
Nobody is going to trust their life to a robot anytime soon. Essentially all current automation is designed to be used BY doctors not in place of them - similar to using a calculator.
Will automation impact the profession? Sure. But you aren't going to see mass doctor unemployment any time soon. The profession will adapt.
Lawyers? Who cares? Good riddance.

Deep learning algorithm does as well as dermatologists in identifying skin cancer: LINK
The final product, the subject of a paper in the Jan. 25 issue of Nature, was tested against 21 board-certified dermatologists. In its diagnoses of skin lesions, which represented the most common and deadliest skin cancers, the algorithm matched the performance of dermatologists.

It's funny. The phenomenon you describe is a perfect parallel for this thread itself. Everyone who has read a couple of blogs and articles that say "OXFORD STUDY ZOMG" is now entitled to say "Sorry, but you're ignorant" and then post some shitty infographic.
To all the doomsayers in this thread, I have a question for you. Why is unemployment 4.6% right now if rampant automation is displacing jobs overnight?
