graduating is not daunting. not by any stretch. in fact, that's the point where life peaks. everything after is a steep downhill ride.
yes, ai adoption has turned that downhill run into a cliff. but if someone thinks graduation is even remotely daunting, then they would struggle even in the most non-ai of worlds.

Did you read the article, or is this just a hot take on the headline

Graduation is the peak of life...? In what metric is that supposed to be the case? Number of graduations per year?

Many firms are now slashing their number of new hires.
Yes. This sucks.
The main cause of this is artificial intelligence
Unlikely.
The main cause for a chill in hiring tends to be uncertainty about the future. And we know that folks are feeling high uncertainty about the future, right now. (Gestures broadly at current headlines in general and "Not The Onion", in particular.)
Historically, uncertainty about the future is particularly high when the people have low confidence that existing and new laws will be applied in a predictable manner.
I'll leave exactly what changed on that front as a thought exercise.
AI is interesting, but it is not the primary cause of the chill in hiring new graduates.

Unpopular opinion: Younger hires are garbage workers. Entitled. Cannot accept criticism. Quit the moment things get too hard. Incompetent. Argumentative with supervisors. On phones too much. And late all of the damned time.
Now add shitty workers with CEO’s cutting billionaires and AI and yep, job market sucks.

AI just gives executives an excuse to layoff their staff without spooking their investors.

I think the younger generation might be the first one that can't buy into the bullshit society sells you at the labor market.

Don't sell your self short like that. I've been working since 2003 in engineering and I wouldn't trust anything that came out of an AI without confirming it with someone with a degree.
Additionally, think of AI as a librarian with photographic memory. It will never ask the right questions. Additionally its memory is influenced by what it has read and its not photographic is mixographic...it will remix any text you give it. Best it can do is not misspell words. Otherwise you can't trust anything it returns.
You on the other hand can do all sorts of knowledge gathering, inferring, etc and make knowledge based decisions rather than text based decisions.

And that’s why the younger generation is overwhelmingly underemployed and overwhelmingly voted for Trump further supporting my belief in their lack of quality judgement.

Agreed, and unfortunately articles like this are food for CEOs to do more under the guise of AI. "See, it works!"

Oh look, more fake election results. You need to stop saying things until you can recognize when a "factoid" isn't even remotely close to believable reality.
