用简历数据发现AI职业未形成，因人群未凝聚。

Occupations form and evolve faster than classification systems can track. We propose that a genuine occupation is a self-reinforcing structure (a bipartite co-attractor) in which a shared professional vocabulary makes practitioners cohesive as a group, and the cohesive group sustains the vocabulary. This co-attractor concept enables a zero-assumption method for detecting occupational emergence from resume data, requiring no predefined taxonomy or job titles: we test vocabulary cohesion and population cohesion independently, with ablation to test whether the vocabulary is the mechanism binding the population. Applied to 8.2 million US resumes (2022-2026), the method correctly identifies established occupations and reveals a striking asymmetry for AI: a cohesive professional vocabulary formed rapidly in early 2024, but the practitioner population never cohered. The pre-existing AI community dissolved as the tools went mainstream, and the new vocabulary was absorbed into existing careers rather than binding a new occupation. AI appears to be a diffusing technology, not an emerging occupation. We discuss whether introducing an "AI Engineer" occupational category could catalyze population cohesion around the already-formed vocabulary, completing the co-attractor.
