    Wait, this is quite the tease @MFordFuture but I don't see any data in the article to support the claim. Which tasks? Which humans?https://twitter.com/MFordFuture/status/1191792203414167552 …

        Partly based on a McKinsey report, making predictions about future automation. Having read similar reports, I find the predictions highly suspect. Technology proceeds along extremely convoluted development paths, for one.

        and even so, the claim is about now ("already")

        I tweeted the default heading on Google news. I agree something like "entry-level jobs could be especially susceptible to automation" would be better. The data comes from the @McKinsey_MGI report they cite, but as you say, I don't think it talks about AI already outperforming..

        Imagine how many jobs have already been lost to Excel? The current narrow AI boom probably won't even register on the distruptometer.

        In pre-entry-level tasks, pre-robots with pre-AGI outperform pre-humans.

        He only identifies entry-level lawyers and actuaries in the 'already' category. But considering the full content of the piece, it's a bit of a odd headline lead.
