of this role’s work is already showing up in real Claude usage (Anthropic Economic Index).
The last desk the machine reaches. Breathe.
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
- List parts needed, estimate costs, and plan work procedures, using parts lists, technical manuals, or diagrams
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Locate and repair frayed wiring, broken connections, or incorrect wiring, using ohmmeters, soldering irons, tape, or hand tools
- Repair plumbing or propane gas lines, using caulking compounds and plastic or copper pipe
- Confer with customers, read work orders, or examine vehicles needing repair to determine the nature and extent of damage
- Examine or test operation of parts or systems to ensure completeness of repairs
- Connect electrical systems to outside power sources, and activate switches to test the operation of appliances or light fixtures
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.
