AI is not wiping out all entry-level jobs, but it's changing the game and fresh jobseekers need to level up

AI is Changing Entry-Level Jobs, Not Eliminating Them

Experts agree that artificial intelligence is not erasing all junior roles, but it requires fresh graduates to enhance their skills and demonstrate what machines cannot replicate: human judgment.

Internship Experience with AI in Public Relations

K Sudhiksha, a 23-year-old communications graduate, shared her experience during a six-month public relations internship that ended unexpectedly after just three months. Officially, the company cited restructuring, but she suspected AI's growing role in her tasks played a part.

"I was spending most of my time running prompts on ChatGPT," said Sudhiksha, referring to the AI chatbot. "We were all encouraged to do it. I could do my tasks faster, but it also made me feel creatively stunted."

Her role mostly involved using AI to generate first drafts of press releases and summarizing news coverage rather than engaging in hands-on creative work. Despite advisory warnings to fact-check AI outputs, the experience felt unfulfilling and lacked the creative involvement she had hoped for.

"While there were warnings to carefully fact-check the output generated by ChatGPT, the reliance on AI made the experience feel hollow," she explained.

Three months into the internship, her position was made redundant.

Summary

AI is reshaping entry-level roles by automating routine tasks, urging new jobseekers to focus on creativity and critical thinking skills that machines cannot replace.
