Future Lack of Good Judgement

AI elimination of entry level position will have an unexpected consequence, creating a dearth of good judgement in younger generations. Why?  Because they lose the benefit of experience.

Here's my paraphrased quote from a Goldman training session in Liar's Poker:

Trainer:  An important skill to develop is good judgement.

Student:  How does one develop good judgement?

Trainer:  Experience.

Student:  How does one get experience?

Trainer:  Bad judgement.

So true, IMHO.  However, without entry level positions, employees will no longer be able to have low risk bad judgement events.  I expect this will have unintended consequences.
