Astrologers, fortune-tellers and related workers

52.6%
ADI · 177th of 433 · 95% interval 31.6–73.7

An AI agent can at least partly carry out 52.6% of the task time of astrologers, fortune-tellers and related workers, and finish 5.3% alone. The barrier that holds most of the rest back is access to the systems the work runs on.
