Soon-to-be college grads benefited from ChatGPT’s arrival during their first year. Many spent the better part of four years cheating (or optimizing, depending on who you ask) their way through school.<\/p>\n
Their arrival in the workforce now raises a big question: Has using AI to get through college made them prime job candidates, or has it stunted important growth?<\/p>\n
BI’s Amanda Hoover breaks down whether this new generation’s overreliance on AI is a feature or a bug<\/a>.<\/p>\n Balancing the use of AI without sacrificing valuable experience is a top concern for executives<\/a> managing junior employees<\/a>.<\/p>\n Veteran workers can leverage AI while still drawing on years of on-the-job experience. Newcomers might be AI-native, but automating all that work could create a serious blind spot.<\/p>\n College grads might also lose access to the AI tools they’ve come to rely on.<\/p>\n Why? Cost and compute.<\/p>\n Anthropic caused an uproar when it appeared to increase pricing for its Claude Code tool. The AI giant eventually said it was only an “experiment” for 2% of new sign-ups, but not before Sam Altman and other OpenAI staffers took some shots<\/a>.<\/p>\n (Anthropic also acknowledged that Claude Code did get worse<\/a>, but denied “nerfing” it.)<\/p>\n It likely won’t be the last AI company to test new pricing models. With a user base hooked on the efficiencies your tech delivers \u2014 and bills stacking up \u2014 why not raise the price?<\/p>\n
