Anthropic surveyed 81k Claude users on their economic sentiment; users with faster acceleration are more worried about job prospects.

ME News reports that on April 23 (UTC+8), according to Dongcha Beating monitoring, Anthropic published a survey analysis based on 81,000 Claude users, comparing users' economic sentiment with the usage data from the previously released Economic Index. The survey found that the higher the proportion of tasks actually performed by Claude in a job, the stronger the workers' concerns about AI replacing their own jobs. The proportion of employees in the top 25% of AI exposure expressing concern is three times that of the bottom 25%. Concerns among early-career respondents are also significantly higher than among senior professionals. The average productivity score reported by respondents is 5.1 (out of 7, corresponding to "significant improvement"), and the most common form of benefit is expanded capability range (mentioned by 48%), followed by increased speed (40%). The highest- and lowest-income jobs both reported the greatest productivity gains, with many low-income workers using AI for side hustles unrelated to their main job, such as delivery drivers using Claude to run e-commerce stores and gardeners using it to develop music apps. The survey also found a contradiction: users reporting the greatest acceleration from AI are also the group most concerned about job threats. Anthropic believes this has an economic logic: if task completion time is significantly shortened, the future survival of the job indeed faces more uncertainty. Additionally, only 60% of early-career professionals believe that the benefits of AI flow to themselves, compared to 80% of senior professionals. Anthropic noted that the survey sample consisted of users who actively use personal Claude accounts and were willing to respond to the questionnaire, and may be more inclined to report positive effects, so the conclusions need to be verified by subsequent structured surveys.
