The author speaks about the benefits of ML image processing algorithms "which have been used in countless industries in numerous settings to solve hard, real world problems". So it doesn't seem fair to paint this person as someone ignoring the benefits completely, as you seem to be doing.

Having said that, expecting writers to devote equal time to the pros and cons of an argument can set up a false equivalence. It tells the reader that the benefits and drawbacks must be somewhat equal, even when they're not.

Does this also go the other way? If you can't come up with any drawbacks, you're being "wilfully ignorant"? You may want to amend your post!
