Matt Zieger built jobsdata.ai as a weekend project, with the stated goal of being “a single place that synthesizes what we actually know about AI’s impact on economic opportunity.” The site breaks every occupation into its component tasks, then prices the AI compute cost to do one hour of each task and compares it against the human wage. The result is a per-task crossover year: the point when AI gets cheaper than the human at that work. “Evidence Over Narrative,” as Zieger puts it.

The UX designer report opens directly:

If you’re an ux designer, this is worth taking seriously. But it’s not too late to get ahead of it.

We’ll be honest with you: a lot of the individual tasks in your job are things AI can already do, and that’s accelerating. But there are real reasons not to panic: when technology has made this kind of work cheaper in the past, people ended up wanting more of it, not less. There’s good reason to think that pattern will hold here too. Your field also tends to adopt new technology faster than most, so it’s worth paying attention now.

Double down on the parts of your work that take real judgment and experience. As AI handles more of the straightforward stuff, demand for what you do will likely grow.
