Evidence stage
Worker adoptionMeasured, large-scale use of a tool for real work, where the decision to use it was the worker's rather than an employer's. It is more than a capability record — the work is real, not a demo — and less than a deployment record, because no employer put it into production, required it, or built a process around it. Weighted `cautious`: `automating` means the machine can do the task AND there are adoption signs, and this is an adoption sign — but usage can be experimental, and much of the measurement comes from a party with a stake, so one record is never enough and two independent ones are. Note who is counting. Vendor telemetry sees this directly and sells the tool, so such a record names that stake in its scope; a statistics agency asking firms whether their workers use AI in tasks sees the same channel with no stake at all, and that is the better source where it exists.

Where this applies
Taiwan. A cross-sectional survey of 497 dietitians found 59.8% had used ChatGPT, primarily for administrative documentation; younger dietitians with higher educational levels and hospital-based roles were more likely to use it. Self-reported use in one place; it does not measure time saved or accuracy.
What this means
Dietitians' first use of AI is the paperwork, not the patient.
What it does not yet show
Self-reported use in one survey; it does not show effects on workload or jobs.
What you can check
Open the Journal of Human Nutrition and Dietetics survey of Taiwanese dietitians and find "primarily for administrative documentation".
Does it change the assessment?
No. The impact index is never moved by a single event. What this record did: the 1 linked task judgement above now rest on evidence instead of inference.
