💡 We investigated how generative AI evaluates 576 occupations, contrasting GPT-4 prestige and social value scores with human scores in the UK. The two are highly correlated across all ISCO-08 major groups. However, GPT-4 misrepresents many occupations, especially digital economy and illicit ones.

Yes, it is very comprehensive, including low-quality papers and some predatory stuff, but unlike Scopus or Web of Science, it is freely accessible, indexes pre-prints, books, chapters etc., allows to export citations, and is well integrated with Google Scholar Profiles, which itself is helpful.
