These are the unverified example numbers supplied for this tool. Choose whole percentages from 0 to 100 and a timing year from 2026 to 2040. The end share must be at least the start share. Changes stay in this page and are not saved.
How this chart works
A normalized logistic curve connects the selected 2026 and 2040 shares exactly. The curve timing year changes the pattern of acceleration between those endpoints. Each industry uses its own assumptions; no AI model is making a prediction here.
S(y) = 1 / (1 + exp(−12 × (y − t) / 14))
share(y) = a + (b − a) × [S(y) − S(2026)] / [S(2040) − S(2026)]
y is the selected year; a is the 2026 share; b is the 2040 share; and t is the curve timing year. The curve steepness is fixed at 12, and the horizon is fixed at 14 years. Displayed shares round to the nearest whole percentage.
The illustrative chapters follow fixed calendar ranges: digital workflows (2026–2028), knowledge work (2029–2032), logistics and operations (2033–2036), and physical and complex work (2037–2040). They do not depend on the edited curve timings.
Task exposure, practical adoption and changes in employment are different questions. This demonstration does not quantify those differences. Human contributions shown alongside the bars are prompts for thinking, not guarantees about future roles.

Explore how tokens and price affect a workload. These are educational calculators using your inputs, not model benchmarks or market forecasts. See how they are calculated.
What will this workload cost?
ILLUSTRATIVE
Set rates from your provider's current pricing page. Defaults are example rates, in USD per million tokens, with no caching or other charges.

Common zero-based USD axis. Bar length = cost ÷ axis maximum.

Show the calculation
Total = requests × [(input tokens × input rate) + (output tokens × output rate)] ÷ 1,000,000. Check the provider's terms for caching, reasoning tokens, batch pricing, taxes, or other charges.
Where does the context go?
TOKEN BUDGET
A simplified planning example: prompt, retrieved text, history, and output share a budget. Providers count these differently; confirm your model's limits.
Budget remaining
Segments show share of the total budget; the table provides token counts and rounded percentages. If allocations exceed the budget, the chart scale expands to total allocated tokens.

06 / SPEAK THE LANGUAGE
Less jargon. More understanding.
Large language model (LLM)
A model trained on language patterns that can generate text from context and instructions. Fluent output can include factual errors. Read the source ↗
Prompt
Instructions and context supplied to a model to request an output. Its usefulness depends on the task and how the result is checked. Read the source ↗
Token
A unit processed by a model, such as a word fragment or punctuation. The encoding and input determine the exact count. Read the source ↗
Context window
The limit on information available for a model request. Model-specific rules determine how inputs, outputs, and other tokens use that capacity. Read the source ↗
Hallucination
A model-generated statement that sounds plausible but is false or unsupported. Wording alone cannot reveal whether it is reliable. Read the source ↗
RAG
Retrieval-augmented generation: supplying retrieved reference material to a model as part of answering a question. Read the source ↗
Embedding
A numerical representation used to compare information, often for finding semantically related text in a retrieval system. Read the source ↗
Evaluation
A structured test of an AI system against defined success criteria, representative examples, and a documented method. Read the source ↗
Grounding
Connecting a generated answer to supplied evidence. Check that the evidence actually supports the answer; a source link alone is insufficient. Read the source ↗
