      Companies and HR departments continue to demonstrate a blatant lack of understanding of how the job market operates. With their short-term vision, they are jeopardising the future of the country.

      Dear CEOs, how do you suppose senior engineers or developers achieve their senior status? Where do they begin their training?

      These companies are solely focused on increasing profits for their shareholders, completely unaware of the magnitude of their mistake.

      There never seems to be any entry level roles in the tech industry anyways. They all want a Uni Degree and 2+ years of experience for “junior” roles.

      Could it literally just be due to the state of the overall economy?

    5. OGSyedIsEverywhere on

      I figure the biggest factor contributing to the delusion that new technologies allow for companies to refuse to hire anyone anymore is the lack of official messaging from the government pushing back on the industry’s claims that true AI is already here.

      When the head of OpenAI says that “AGI is already here” and it can’t maintain a consistent, professional or non-hallucinatory tone for more than three consecutive emails and billboards say to stop hiring humans, many older managers, executives and directors will fall for it. The Departments for Business and Trade, Science, Innovation and Technoloogy and DCMS have all been asleep at the wheel and silent on calling out the industry lies.

      > Vacancies for graduate jobs, apprenticeships, internships and junior jobs with no degree requirement have dropped 32% since the launch of the AI chatbot in November 2022, research by the job search site Adzuna released on Monday has found. These entry-level jobs now account for 25% of the market in the UK, down from 28.9% in 2022.

      I don’t understand how these types of jobs are down 32% if they have only gone from 28.9% to 25% of the market?

      People who need to switch careers due to ai replacing them may find other jobs shut off entry level work due to ai as well

      Then companies will be shocked that they realise ChatGPT is too general purpose and relatively incompetent at doing it right

      BBC News announced via press release over the weekend (a bit sly) that they are launching two pilots for AI use – one to rewrite content in its house style and one to create cut downs of articles. These are tasks usually for a junior member of staff.

      Patently obvious that the pilots will replace entry-level jobs like this and make it even harder for fledgling journalists to get their foot in the door at the Beeb and elsewhere. It’s extremely disheartening.

      When our supposed jewel of UK news production, an organisation that was proclaiming that we all owned it and it was ‘Our BBC’ a few years back is denying new talent to save costs, what hope is there anywhere?

      It’s madness, my company has been unable to find mid level developers and hadn’t even considered bringing in entry level engineers. We can hire 2 for the price of a decent mid and got over 200 applicants once I convinced management to run with it.

      I reckon it will be 3 months before they start adding value but it takes 6 months to even find a mid so it’s a price worth paying.

    11. bobblebob100 on

      We had co-pilot integrated into Teams overnight last month, with just an email to say feel free to use it to help out where needed

      Working for the NHS no guidance on what we can and cannot use it for. Which seems crazy considering all the confidential data we work with, that it was not stipulated it cannot be used for that.

    12. most_crispy_owl on

      As people have left my work we just haven’t been replacing them, I think that the media focuses on redundancies, but a huge concern is that as employees churn out they’re not being replaced

    13. South_Leek_5730 on

      Part of the problem is the vastly overinflated value of AI. We’ve seen countless stories telling us how AI can do this and AI can do that so companies in their infinite cost cutting wisdom start telling staff to use it and start cutting. What they don’t seem to realise is that whilst AI can give you an answer or write you a letter or code or look something up it literally has no intelligence. You can’t ask it to do something the right way because it doesn’t know what the right way is. All it knows is that based on probability and occurrence this is the right answer. You can get it to automate mundane tasks but you should have done that already.

      The other issue is what is an entry level job these days? The jobs that require 2+ years experience (often 5+) are now minimum wage so there is no wage below minimum wage. That’s not minimum wages fault as those jobs used to pay more than what minimum wage is now. Companies just realised they can just pay minimum wage and people will accept it. Why are you going to hire someone with no experience when you can get someone with experience for the same price? There is no incentive for entry level jobs anymore.

      I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that in that same period interest rates have risen from ~1.5% to ~4.5%

      Millions of young Brits signed off work for minor mental health issues 

      Growth of AI killing entry level jobs

      Successive governments: hmmm yes several million more unskilled migrants

    16. setokaiba22 on

      I actually don’t see the link to AI here for those roles – some conjecture on the percentages but no actually direct correlation saying company A removed xx amount of jobs because these are now done by AI..

      And AI is great for something’s hit still in its infancy – we need more details for the Guardian to support this headline really – what entry level jobs, what companies and what are the reasons? Is it AI or is it the market and economy. Is it they don’t need to hire?

    17. nearlyFried on

      To their own detriment. The problem with AI is that it’s not intelligent in any sense of the word and cannot replace anyone who’s job actually requires a brain.

    18. chronicnerv on

      The fact that new power stations and water usage are being planned specifically to support the rise of AI shows where the priorities lie. When infrastructure is being built more for machines than for people, it’s clear we’re moving into a world where human needs come second to technological and corporate interests.

      GDP is now driven by automation and AI, not people and the only thing that seems to matter at the top is the share price. Whether by design or neglect, the outcome is the same. a society where more and more people are left behind.

      I wonder how much they have dropped since Labour increased NI on businesses? But then again The Guardian wouldn’t report on that

    21. Hollywood-is-DOA on

      It’s only going to get worse “ but here’s why that’s a good thing”. I can and will use the mainstream lies as a way of proving my point.

      It’s like they got us all addicted to smart phones so we don’t look up at the reality of us all being replaced.

    22. lhrbos on

      Unlikely related to ChatGTP, more likely related to Rachel Reeves’s increased NI.

    23. SableSnail on

      I mean it coincides with the end of ZIRP and the Ukraine and Gaza wars, the tariffs etc. too.

      The economic outlook is pretty grim at the moment, I wouldn’t attribute it to ChatGPT. The interest rates are probably the biggest culprit.

    24. Kelypsov on

      I seem to recall that a few months ago, Keir Starmer was hyping up AI and promoting the idea of Britain being a ‘leader’ in AI by making out that jobs would be done differently, not lost.

      Mind you, I also recall that, a couple of years ago, there were various people warning of huge job losses coming due to AI. One of them being the Opposition leader at the time – a certain Mr Keir Starmer.
