You might want to sit down for this one.
65% 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. Deeply cooked. Almost the entire task list is something a model can already attempt.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Identify stations, and introduce or close shows, ad-libbing or using memorized or read scripts
- Comment on music and other matters, such as weather or traffic conditions
- Develop story lines for broadcasts
- Discuss various topics over the telephone with viewers or listeners
- Record commercials for later broadcast
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Operate control consoles
- Make promotional appearances at public or private events to represent their employers
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 65% cooked. What’s yours?"
