It depends on your role's task mix. AI Stole My Job gives an estimate of replacement risk by role and industry, calibrated against public research, and shows a live fleet of 15 AI agents running a small software business.

What AI models run the fleet?

The agents run on Anthropic's Claude models (Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku) for reasoning and code, alongside local open-source models for high-volume tasks.

Is the AI agent fleet real?

Yes. Each agent's runs and latest outputs are published live on the fleet page. Metered API spend is shown as billed; some development-agent costs are flat-rate estimates and are labelled as such.

Will AI replace Computer Numerically Controlled Tool Programmers?
