They do things like analyze what % of tasks of a job can be done by AI and project that x% of those jobs will be gone.
Are there any actual good studies that show what jobs are declining right now due to AI? not what theoretically could be?

Unemployment:
Singapore 2%
Russia 2.1%
South Korea 2.5%
Japan 2.6%
Denmark 2.6%
Switzerland 2.8%
Mexico 2.9%
Israel 2.9%
Taiwan 3.35%
Netherlands 4%
United States 4.3%
The premise of the point is job losses but that's not happening. I reject the premise and so no study is needed. You might look at:
Spain 10.45%
Finland 9.1%
Sweden 8.3%
Greece 8.1%
France 7.5%
But none of these are because of AI, it's because of government policies which cause unemployment.

Let’s say I like fruit (particularly oranges) and usually buy $10 worth of them. I go to the store and they’re out of oranges but I still buy $10 worth of fruit (apples today). If you’re tracking how much I spend on fruit you’d think my buying habits didn’t change at all.
Additionally, aren’t countries notorious (particularly US) for fudging unemployment numbers?

OP and me are talking about job losses/unemployment; a singular thing.

Feel free to justify your allegation that you're making.

Yes, but one can lose a job due to AI and get a new job resulting in job loss because of AI yet no overall job loss.
OP specifically asked for examples of jobs being lost to AI. Your data not only doesn't show that, you're misinterpreting it to pretend that doesn't happen.
