      It can definitely handle some routine low-risk tasks. I’ve used it for that.

      But I also haven’t ever worked anywhere where graduates are only given routine low-risk tasks. Does that really happen? In places I’ve worked they are given non-routine tasks that are probably slightly less complex - in particular not requiring architecting a new system - but not like “reformat this file” or “write a script to clean up my git branches” or whatever.

      I would guess this is really unrelated to AI. In fact the graph kind of shows that.
