A recent survey of AI and labor data by a team of researchers at Stanford's Digital Economy Lab uncovered some of the first comprehensive evidence that the AI industry really is throwing the job market into flux.

As you probably know, narrow AI like that used in Symbotic's robots doesn't hallucinate.
I disagree with some of your comment:
It is in no way intelligent—no cognition, agency, or understanding.
It may not have agency or understanding as humans do, but it is incredibly intelligent at "understanding" what I am trying to do.
