I don’t doubt there’s a lot of knowledge workers who aren’t adding value.

I’m worried about the shrinking number of opportunities for juniors.

I agree with this, but I still think that offshoring is much more responsible for this than AI.

I have definitely seen real world examples where adding junior hires at ~$100k+ is being completely forgone when you can get equivalent output from someone making $40k offshore.
