> MIT Report Claims 11.7% of U.S. Labor Can Be Replaced with Existing AI

Trying to keep the bubble alive

Title is wildliy misleading, check.

Its been apparent for a while now that the only yaysayers left either are CEOs or just havent tried the tech yet.

Wildly misreported headline

>The Index measures where AI systems overlap with the skills used in each occupation. A score reflects the share of wage value linked to skills where current AI systems show technical capability. For example, a score of 12% means AI overlaps with skills representing 12% of that occupation’s wage value, not 12% of jobs. This reflects skill overlap, not job displacement.

>The Index reports technical skill overlap with AI. It does not estimate job loss, workforce reductions, adoption timelines or net employment effects.

So? That is nothing compared to tractors, steam engines, automated looms.
Didn't MIT also publish a similar report saying most AI implementations don't add any value, or something similar?
Not 11.6%, not 11.8%, but 11.7%.
I agree. In my physics lab class, the T.A. would get super unhappy if you keep too many decimal places. I call bullshit on that 7.
