Claude's first casualty? Summer internship programs. As AI models become increasingly capable at handling routine tasks, entry-level positions—especially seasonal roles designed for fresh talent—are quietly disappearing from the job market. It's not just hype; companies are discovering that AI can handle documentation, basic coding, data analysis, and customer support work that traditionally launched young careers. The irony hits hard: the same technology promising to enhance human productivity is effectively shutting the door for newcomers trying to break into the industry.

Interns really have no way out now, AI is directly taking over entry-level positions.

Newcomers have finished the internal competition, now it's AI taking over. Who can handle this cycle?

Internship positions are gone, and even entry-level jobs are at risk... Is this what they call productivity improvement?

Now the intern is really done for... The speed of AI replacement is far beyond imagination.
