Attach equipment extensions or accessories.

Attach equipment extensions or accessories. is a detailed work activity in O*NET — a concrete unit of work shared across 4 occupations and seen in 6 occupation-specific tasks. It rolls up into the broader work activity Set up equipment. in Handling and Moving Objects .

Detailed work activities are the most granular shared layer in O*NET's work-activity hierarchy (Generalized → Intermediate → Detailed → occupation-specific task). The figures below describe how this activity shows up across the economy and what independent studies measure about AI and this kind of work — not a prediction that the work will be automated.

AI exposure

Of the 6 tasks under this activity that the OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rated, 0 (0%) are flagged as directly exposed to language models (E1) or exposed via model-powered tools (E2).

Exposure estimates overlap with model capabilities — whether a model could speed the task up — not whether the work will be done by software. Observed AI use is augmentation and assistance today, not jobs replaced.

Member tasks

Occupation-specific tasks O*NET maps to this detailed work activity, most important first.

• Connect accessories such as floats, weights, flags, lights, or markers to nets, lines, or traps. · Fishing and Hunting Workers · importance 4.1 · no direct exposure
• Position boxes or attach bags at discharge ends of machinery to catch products, removing and closing full containers. · Agricultural Equipment Operators · importance 4.0 · no direct exposure
• Attach farm implements such as plows, discs, sprayers, or harvesters to tractors, using bolts and hand tools. · Agricultural Equipment Operators · importance 3.9 · no direct exposure
• Secure steel cables or chains to logs for dragging by tractors or for pulling by cable yarding systems. · Fallers · importance 3.9 · no direct exposure
• Attach nets, slings, hooks, blades, or lifting devices to cables, booms, hoists, or dredges. · Fishing and Hunting Workers · importance 3.8 · no direct exposure
• Install color effects or image patterns, such as color filters, onto lighting fixtures. · Lighting Technicians · no direct exposure
