of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The boring parts are leaving. The judgment stays.
49% of this role’s O*NET tasks are within reach of today’s AI. That is the core-weighted exposure score from Eloundou et al. 2023 (“GPTs are GPTs”). It measures a capability ceiling, not a headcount forecast. In the blast radius. A real slice of the work is already automatable. The rest isn’t.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Direct activities of technicians engaged in preparing drawings or specification documents
- Prepare operating and maintenance manuals, studies, or reports
- Develop final construction plans that include aesthetic representations of the structure or details for its construction
- Prepare scale drawings or architectural designs, using computer-aided design or other tools
- Prepare information regarding design, structure specifications, materials, color, equipment, estimated costs, or construction time
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Consult with clients to determine functional or spatial requirements of structures
- Meet with clients to review or discuss architectural drawings
THE HONEST PART. A percentage is not a pink slip. High exposure usually means a role shrinks and shifts toward judgment, direction and responsibility: the parts a model can’t sign its name to. Exposure ≠ displacement. Breathe.
"My job is 49% cooked. What’s yours?"
