Exposure basis
[v4/median] score 75 (raw 75 | A 75 / B 85 / C 30 | modality: other) Current LLMs combined with library catalog APIs can understand patron queries and retrieve appropriate information at a professional level for most routine requests, though complex or nuanced cases still benefit from human expertise. (capable: Large Language Model (e.g., GPT‑4) with library system integration)

How much of this task's output current AI can produce or substantially assist.
Best current model strength on any capability this task requires.
This is an assessment of technical feasibility plus published evidence - not a forecast. Even fully automatable tasks are often not automated, because of cost, verification, liability, regulation or the fact that the task is bundled with other work.
