I imagine this is not unfamiliar to CardBoard members, but this LA Times article provides some depth on the effects of AI on the recent grad job market.

Anthropic's (Claude) CEO Dario Amodei says that AI's capabilities will wipe out 50% of entry-level white-collar jobs in five years. 

They graduated from Stanford. Due to AI, they can't find a job - Los Angeles Times

AI is influencing other sectors as well, also with mixed results.  

In law firm practice, AI is excellent at some routine tasks.  You can feed a complaint into AI software, and get a lovely set of document demands and interrogatories to get information about the plaintiff's contentions.  At this stage, however, AI is bad at brief writing.  It will cite fake cases or give blatantly incorrect citations/quotations to case law.  Lawyers have to check whatever comes out of AI very diligently or they will suffer the consequences.  I know two lawyers who have been ripped to shreds by courts for using AI to write briefs without sufficient safeguards to ensure accuracy of citations/quotations.

My wife is a math teacher, and she agrees that AI has value, but it is still raw.  If she's already written a test, she can ask AI to write a make-up exam for kids who missed the first one, and it's really good.  AI can even write the first test reasonably well after reviewing the lesson plans from the unit.  But AI is terrible at answer keys.  She can ask for an answer key, get a result, and then, if she asks AI to make sure the key is correct, it'll sheepishly admit to errors, and then admit to even more errors on a second reminder to check accuracy.  I don't really understand that.  I thought computers are supposed to be great at math...
