"Young workers were said to be especially vulnerable because AI can replace “codified knowledge,” or “book-learning” that comes from formal education. On the other hand, AI may be less capable of replacing knowledge that comes from years of experience."

First rule of epidemiology: Correlation is not Causation. In this article they haven't even established correlation. They have observed from payroll records that hiring for entry-level jobs is down. Then they have asserted this is due to the adoption of AI. Not impressed.

I'm pretty sure that's simply the weakening economy.
These exact jobs are the easiest to drop completely, if the budgets get tighter.
Inexperienced employees need guidance and training, and they job hop more. Simply not hiring them at all saves money in the short term.
Same is true for many customer facing jobs. How many of them are actually relevant for sales this or next quarter, given that you can just squeeze the remaining employees.
