Not much of a time saver:

I worked with (human!) interns and most of them did not require being watched in real-time.

to be fair, the AI-intern may be cheaper than a human intern. And since it is AI, I understand the impulse to require human approval. There's nobody to hold accountable with an AI-intern, so letting it have free reign is scary (to me at least)

I get the appeal, but it seems too early for one AI tool to be able to do "everything". I'm guessing there's some company out there trying to automate each of these tasks and dealing with the attendant complexity that comes with it - it's not clear to me that a single "do everything" AI would be able to do this pre-AGI

Having an intern is supposed to be about talent development. It's a way to simultaneously recruit, train, vet and build loyalty with future employees.

Using interns just as a source of cheap labour is exploiting interns!

Calling this "AI interns" is like saying "this is sub-par and neglects important aspects of your business".
