Work activities this task rolls up to

O*NET groups concrete tasks into broader work activities shared across many occupations.

• Prepare informational or instructional materials. in Documenting/Recording Information

AI exposure

The OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rates this task E1. Direct exposure — a language model could plausibly cut the time to do this task by at least half.

Exposure measures whether a model could meaningfully speed the task up — it is an estimate of overlap with model capabilities, not a measure of whether the work will be done by software. The study's intermediate score (β) for this task is 1.00. Automation potential label: T2.

How AI is actually used on this kind of task

The Anthropic Economic Index observes how people actually use AI on tasks like this one across millions of real conversations.

• 0.075% share of AI-use records mapped to this task
• 77% of that use is work-related
• Most common interaction: directive
• Average autonomy of the AI: 3.8 (1–5; higher = more autonomous)
• 89% of interactions still needed a human in the loop

Observed AI use describes people choosing to use AI as a tool on this kind of task today. It is augmentation and assistance, not a measure of jobs replaced.
