Robots can’t hold a hand, a scalpel, or your nerve.
5% 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
- Design active direct or indirect, passive direct or indirect, or pool solar systems
- Assess collector sites to ensure structural integrity of potential mounting surfaces or the best orientation and tilt for solar collectors
WHAT IT STILL CAN’T
- Test operation or functionality of mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and control systems
- Apply weather seal, such as pipe flashings and sealants, to roof penetrations and structural devices
- Install solar collector mounting devices on tile, asphalt, shingle, or built-up gravel roofs, using appropriate materials and penetration methods
- Install copper or plastic plumbing using pipes, fittings, pipe cutters, acetylene torches, solder, wire brushes, sand cloths, flux, plastic pipe cleaners, or plastic glue
- Identify plumbing, electrical, environmental, or safety hazards associated with solar thermal installations
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.
