Interestingly, as a direct outcome of the Nazis misusing this data Germany did not have a census for the longest time. Here is an article from 1987 on the German protests against the new census, that was also the last Germany-led census: h

I guess: Not only does AI reduce the number of the entry-level workers, now this shows that the entry-level workers who remain won't learn anything from their use of AI and remain entry-level forever if they're not careful.
