> I think this will be the death of entry-level jobs.

This had been said about everything AI related, but the evidence shows it is actually the "higher level", jobs which are being disrupted first.

It is a matter of incentives, and the human tendency to assign blame to people. Everyone can blame their manager, but entry-levels are not blamed by anyone, because they are not supervising anyone.

Technology is in the business of replacing in-betweens, middlemen, rent-seekers etc with systems that are less biased, more objective, more transparent (sometimes), less prone to corruption etc. That's why google became more trusted than webrings, and why people use yelp or google maps instead of asking the locals.

Therefore, there are more people who want to replace their supervisors/managers/superiors with AI than the converse, and this will drive more entry-level people to work for companies that offer more automated , more transparent and trustable management processes. Humans are a point of friction
