Julia Hirschberg gave a keynote at this year's EMNLP on this topic. Short answer was that ML can do better than trained humans in some cases, but very far from "almost any".

I don't think EMNLP has posted talk videos yet but these slides look very similar: http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~julia/talks/ICASSP2018-latest.pd...
