AI-exposed entry-level jobs drop up to 40%, sparking 'agents take all jobs' debate

Citing PFNYC figures, unusualwhales reports entry-level jobs vanishing fastest in AI-exposed fields: design/media/writing -40.6%, customer support -34.4%, clerical -30.5%, business management -26.8%, finance -23.4%.
Marc van der chijs shared it with a blunt take: anyone who still believes AI will create jobs is "delusional or lying" — models and agents are already good enough to take over all computer-based human work, it's just a matter of time.
