Work activities this task rolls up to
O*NET groups concrete tasks into broader work activities shared across many occupations.
AI exposure
The OpenAI / Eloundou “GPTs are GPTs” study rates this task E2. Exposure with tools — software built on top of a language model (not the model alone) could cut the time 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 0.50. Automation potential label: T1.
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.
- 0.002% share of AI-use records mapped to this task
- 87% of that use is work-related
- Most common interaction: task iteration
- Average autonomy of the AI: 3.4 (1–5; higher = more autonomous)
- 100% 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.
