> AI use at work is broad but shallow: Workplace adoption spans all industry sectors and also 68% of all occupations that collectively represent 90% of total U.S. employment.

Im sorry but what? Plumbers, electricians, framers, welders, auto workers, hotel staff, restaurant staff are these people using AI in their jobs? Does someone at google think that these very much manual labor jobs are only 10 percent of the work force in the US?

There is PEW data, that says 30 percent of us labor force is in manual labor / blue collar jobs. The person you call at 3am to fix your drain, isnt using AI.

I am 100% using AI to figure out wtf to do about my 3am plumbing problem.

After I have the water turned off, I’m going to back to sleep to call a plumber during regular hours.

A friend of mine is a plumber. They use ChatGPT to write commercial bids. They developed a prompt, feed in some details, and out pops a detailed bid.
