A study comparing AI systems and human workers on real tasks shows AI is far from replacing jobs. Despite impressive capabilities, the best AI only completed 2.5% of projects successfully, failing mostly due to lack of long-term memory and poor visual understanding. AI produced subpar work for projects like floor plans and dashboards, highlighting its limitations. Although AI may reduce dependence on human workers, the study suggests it won’t fully automate jobs soon.
