of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
Certified irreplaceable. For now, gloriously human.
8% 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. Certified hard to automate. Today’s AI barely touches the core of this one.
WHAT AI CAN ALREADY DO
- Document inspection and test results and work performed or to be performed
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Start motors and monitor performance for signs of malfunctioning, such as smoke, excessive vibration, or misfiring
- Mount motors to boats, and operate boats at various speeds on waterways to conduct operational tests
- Repair engine mechanical equipment, such as power tilts, bilge pumps, or power take-offs
- Perform routine engine maintenance on motorboats, such as changing oil and filters
- Replace parts, such as gears, magneto points, piston rings, or spark plugs, and reassemble engines
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.
