Will the entry-level jobs be impacted? Most likely they are already, anecdotally as a generalist I can perform a lot more tasks than I could a few years ago because of language models. I no longer need to hire junior developers to create prototypes and scripts, I can create them myself. Similarly, I don't need to hire copywriters to create documentation or marketing material. I've also started leveraging image generation models for basic things like landing pages, so I don't need photographers or stock image sites anymore for those tasks. I have meeting assistant "agents" taking notes and action items, I don't need an admin assistant at meetings. There is definitely a shift happening at this level, right now.
For example, if you ask LLMs to build code using the three.js library, nearly all of them will reference version r128. Presumably because that version has the largest representation in the training data set. Now, you can turn this on and ask it to reference the latest version, and it will search the web and find r170 and the latest documentation to consider in it's response.
I was already doing this before by adding "search the web for the latest version first" in my prompts, now I can just click a button. That's useful.
How will someone claim they've achieved either, if we can't agree on the definitions?
To be fair, this is a beta product and is likely ridden with bugs. I think OP is trying to make a point that LLM powered applications can be potentially tricked into behaving in ways that are unintended, and the "bug fixes" may be a constant catch up game for developers fighting an infinite pool of edge cases.
