Anthropic has a new paper analyzing how its chatbot (Claude) is actually used. As you might expect, it’s mostly computer and math (36%).
The U.S. Dept. of Labor has a database (ONET) that categorizes about 900 occupations and 20,000 unique tasks. So Anthropic (actually Claude) mapped chatbot conversations to those tasks. Then they validated the mappings with human spot-checking.
After computer and math, you get art, education, admin, science, and business tasks in roughly equivalent numbers. This kind of use doesn’t surprise me, but the paper expresses some surprise they do not see higher use in healthcare based on prior academic predictions.
