""How else are people going to learn to do the job except via on-the-job learning and training apprenticeship? That's how you learn to do difficult knowledge work is by helping somebody who's good at that with the routine stuff. And when we put too much automation in that too quickly, we lose that apprenticeship ladder.""
""So if you're pulling back on your entry-level hiring, you are probably sacrificing future opportunities to learn and the skilled people of the future. You're also turning off the spigot of the most enthusiastic power users of AI in your organization.""
Companies that automate entry-level positions risk damaging the future workforce by eliminating essential on-the-job training opportunities. Andrew McAfee emphasizes that apprenticeship is crucial for developing skills in knowledge work.

By reducing entry-level hiring, companies may miss out on future talent and the innovative potential that younger employees bring, particularly in AI integration.
