As a tech journalist (and web designer on the side), I‘m sick and tired of this “AI will disrupt x, y or z” idiocy. Especially when AI means “heavily scripted automated services”. Designers, including for the Web, won’t be replaced by machine any soon. Companies value spending money on someone who knows how to best present their content and takes care of “all that techical stuff”. For simple websites, without much dynamic content, it’s relatively cheap to hire someone good instead of using a service spitting out the nth Wix clone; for more high impact websites, forget about it: it‘s a strategic asset and you will have entire teams on it. Shall they automate part of their job and optimize it? Sure, they already do. And AI has nothing to do with it.
