    You’re absolutely correct. The same issue will arise in every industry AI is used in. It’s going to make the barrier to entry even larger than it was before AI, and folks were already joking about entry level jobs requiring 5 years experience. In software it’s starting to look like someone will need to get to today’s senior engineer level of skill before they can land a job. Good thing our schools are keeping up. /s

      The back door around that is the consulting agencies. You just work for Deloitte or McKinley for five years, making spreadsheets about databases, and then you’ve got the experience to fake it in through the back door. Alternatively, a lot of firms do actually have new hire crash courses. I worked at a firm that would hire virtually anyone with a bachelor’s degree and put them through a six week coding boot camp. The… quality of the product was… not great. But the volume of people coming through the system and getting “years of experience” was notable.
