of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
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
- Prepare work for sale or exhibition, and maintain relationships with retail, pottery, art, and resource networks that can facilitate sale or exhibition of work
- Design spaces to display pottery for sale
- Examine finished ware for defects and measure dimensions, using rule and thickness gauge
- Design clay forms and molds, and decorations for forms
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Operate gas or electric kilns to fire pottery pieces
- Mix and apply glazes to pottery pieces, using tools, such as spray guns
- Raise and shape clay into wares, such as vases and pitchers, on revolving wheels, using hands, fingers, and thumbs
- Adjust wheel speeds according to the feel of the clay as pieces enlarge and walls become thinner
- Position balls of clay in centers of potters' wheels, and start motors or pump treadles with feet to revolve wheels
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.
