According to the Remote Labor Index from remotelabor.ai, AI can now fully automate 41.3% of remote project tasks, roughly doubling every 3.3 months over the past 12 months. A year ago, AI could complete only about 1 in 40 real remote freelance tasks; today it's 2 in 5.
Data points on the chart include Opus 4.5 (3.8%), GPT-5.5 (6.3%), Fable 5 (15.8%), GPT-6 Astra (20.8%), and Fable 5.2 (41.3%). Caveat: some model names and dates on the chart (such as 2026) appear to be fabricated or a joke; the data's authenticity is questionable, so treat it as discussion material only.
