Ask HN: Generative AI: The Future of Content Creation Agencies?
As the world of technology continues to evolve, generative AI is making its way to the forefront. This begs the question, what will happen to content-focused digital agencies such as web design/development, content creation, and graphic design? Will they become obsolete or rise to new heights?
