AI tasks primarily involve software development and writing, with significant usage across the economy. About 36% of jobs integrate AI into tasks, focusing on augmenting human abilities (57%) versus automating tasks (43%). Younger, educated, higher-income workers in sectors like customer service and IT are the main users of generative AI, which raises concerns over potential atrophy in critical skills as reliance grows. The risk is that AI's convenience may lead to shallow thinking and intellectual complacency, threatening original thought in sectors reliant on cognitive processes.
