Certified irreplaceable. For now, gloriously human.
6% 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
- Identify lawn or plant diseases to determine the appropriate course of treatment
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Mix pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides for application to trees, shrubs, lawns, or botanical crops
- Fill sprayer tanks with water and chemicals, according to formulas
- Lift, push, and swing nozzles, hoses, and tubes to direct spray over designated areas
- Cover areas to specified depths with pesticides, applying knowledge of weather conditions, droplet sizes, elevation-to-distance ratios, and obstructions
- Start motors and engage machinery, such as sprayer agitators or pumps or portable spray equipment
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.
