A big issue is that by scalping out early stages of careers AI could create a large impact on employee development. If AI means you don't need to hire so many 2-5 year experience employees it means you're not creating 5year + experience employees available for the market. This might mean that AI expands it's niche, as experienced employees become more scared we'll have to push more of their work onto AI. I'm not sure it's going to be all industries that have this issue. Some are far more reliant on junior roles. Like SWE, but also accountants, lawyers and their paralegals, etc. In the UK in particular the high costs associated with large workforces mean it's just too nice to cut headcount.
