MIT Technology Review published a deep analysis on the single most revealing labor market metric for AI displacement. Recent MIT CSAIL research found AI hits 'minimally sufficient' work quality (7/9 rating) only 65% of the time across all tasks, suggesting augmentation over replacement. Openings for routine, automation-prone roles fell 13% after ChatGPT's debut while demand for analytical and creative jobs grew 20%, indicating task-level displacement rather than wholesale job loss.
