Anthropic's Viral AI Job Graph: 80% Takeover or 2023 Fantasy?

Seen the graph where AI looks ready to gobble up most jobs? Hold on—it's propped up on last summer's guesses, not hard data.

⚡ Key Takeaways

  • Anthropic's 'theoretical capability' graph relies on an outdated August 2023 report, not current models.
  • It's speculative scoring of tasks, echoing past AI overhypes like IBM Watson.
  • Real money's in augmentation tools and consulting, not mass job replacement.
