1027 respondents admitted AI could carry out their workplace duties

Is there breakdown which shows respondents actual understanding of what AI is?

Current AI can help which is theoretically enough to eliminate some jobs. But yeah it isn't actually stealing jobs yet and I doubt LLM "AI" ever will.

ChatGPT is pretty good at taking your Wendy's order, even without fine tuning. That job is probably a goner.

Electrician, on the other hand? Lol no, they're safe.

Yeah, that's the big question mark here. On the other hand, I'd expect people would overestimate the difficulty of their own job on average, so I'm still inclined to listen.
