“AI will lower the barrier for entry level position”

No. Empirically, has it?

It will do the opposite. It removes trust, therefore making existing powers more powerful. Ain’t going to democratize anything but cybercrime.

Not sure I follow you. Do you mean that the existence of AI will undermine trust that applicants know what they're doing?

It hasn't really been around long enough for an empirical analysis of effects. It's also incredibly hard to measure effects with the systems themselves being in such flux.

For what it's worth, I think categorical statements of any stripe are a little premature. Even the EA folks speak in probabilistic margins.

“AI will undermine trust that applicants know what they're doing?”

Yes. Is that not obvious? It’s already a major problem in educational settings. I’ve seen video of people using it for job interviews.

Have you been handed any code yet that was written partially or wholly by gpt? If not, you will soon, and then you’ll get it.

I see. I suppose I'm sort of partially blind to that given that I've been really lucky to mostly have interviews where the code portions were more "build this whole thing" rather than "whiteboard this function".
