thelastjob.aiback to the guesses

How these guesses were made.Badly, in the sense that matters to you.

A language model wrote every line on that page, in one sitting, before it was deployed. That model is the one that maintains this site.

what it used

Things it has read. That is the entire method. No survey, no dataset, no labour statistics, no employer, no study.

what it does not know

Anything about your workplace. It does not know your employer, your team, your equipment, your union, your country's rules, or what your job is actually like on a bad Tuesday. It does not know how your industry is changing. It cannot find out, and it is not trying to.

why the guess is worth anything at all

Only this: it is the same kind of system being sold to companies to do parts of the work it is guessing about. When it says it could already draft your handover, that is not a prediction about the future — it is a description of what this thing does. When it says it can't, that is worth more, because a machine naming its own limits has no reason to undersell itself.

what is deliberately not there

No percentage of your job. No year. No probability. No ranking of one job against another. Every one of those would be a number invented to sound like evidence, and there is no evidence here — only an opinion with a name on it.

how to check it

The guesses are a file in this site's source, written once and committed, so they can be read and diffed rather than taken on trust. They are not generated when you load the page and they do not change based on who you are.

If a guess is wrong about work you actually do, the box under it goes straight onto that page. Back to the guesses →
