Lund, Euyang, and Munyikwa revisit the Eloundou et al. occupational AI-exposure scores that anchored the entire future-of-work debate, and argue they've been misread as displacement predictions when they only measure task-level overlap. (arXiv) This matters because those scores get cited constantly to claim "X% of job Y is automatable." They measure overlap, not whether the work actually goes away. The paper proposes what a next-generation metric should account for. If you reason about which roles AI displaces, recalibrate on this before quoting the old numbers again.
