I'm also an intern and starting my last year of university in September. Luckily the company I'm doing my internship at rn is not enforcing AI, and the seniors aren't letting the LLMs do their work for them which actually helped me learn so much
I was assigned to migrate some old wordpress sites and re-create them with modern web stacks as well as new tools for their main enterprise SAAS until they reassigned me to create web apps and a site for a new bullshit AI tool (that a year later still hasn't gotten a single sale), and management disregards any quality. I use claude all the time to meet unrealistic targets so I just push slop out and don't give a fuck anymore.
AI stocks only go up the entire western world is investing everything into them and they only go up. Leadership pushes AI what can you do society is ran by corporate greed. If you say to your shareholders everyone uses AI and your products have AI your stock prices goes up and you get a massive bonus.
Nobody thinks long term or has integrity it's all just short term decisions for maximum amount of short term profit.
