The hottest website design industry in the past is now completely one of the worst areas for AI replacement. This guy had plenty of interview opportunities 4 or 5 years ago. But nowadays, with a few prompts, AI can produce a basic-design website, and there’s no room anymore for all these UI/UX designers.

I remember that a few years ago, website design was still very profitable, and many young people went into it—taking contract work and side gigs could earn tens of thousands of yuan in a month.
But then GPT kept optimizing design aesthetics, and now it’s almost wiping out the whole industry. After all, many design processes have already been highly standardized—like those posters, banners, web pages, and app screens. There are already ready-made templates; AI can generate them easily and get it done in 5 minutes.
Costs can be pushed to the lowest, because there are countless small and medium-sized companies and even one-person businesses on every street. Everyone is more willing to use GPT for a few minutes to produce a basic design version—cheap, and as long as it works, that’s fine.
Studying design is dangerous, dangerous ⚠️⚠️
