When is an AI assistant’s work actually done?

OpenAI has published GDPval as a way to assess knowledge-work tasks. That is useful, but a task score has a boundary: it tells us something about the work selected for the test, not whether a real person’s obligation is complete. A draft is not done if approval is missing, a policy source is stale, or the next owner has to reopen the trail to discover what changed. If an AI assistant calls a task complete, I want the label to mean something concrete: delivered or still draft; who owns the next decision; which source and date support the claim; and what has not been checked. Otherwise a polished output can quietly become somebody else’s 5 p.m. cleanup.
