A great intern brings positive energy, a relentless work ethic and doesn’t cost very much. They ask a lot of questions, and the most useful questions will help you see an existing situation with fresh eyes.
Of course, you’ll expect them to make mistakes, and a professional needs to double-check all of their work. If you skip these steps, don’t blame the intern.
You’ve already guessed that your new best intern is an AI like Claude or Perplexity.
Treat an intern with respect and don’t look for experience. You might learn something useful.
