You replace designers with who? Who is the magic person (who is not a designer) doing the work? CEO? CTO? I heard these stories when Midjourney started and everyone on gamedev channels where screaming how artists/graphic designers would be irrelevant... I was always puzzlde by who is going to be doing their work if they are gone...

I think the long term idea is that AI becomes continuous in the sense that it behaves like a regular employee, not something you have to prompt. So at a mid sized company say 100 "entities", the CEO has directors still, they have managers, but the managers are managing AI agents not humans.

But I don't think that's how it plays out. I think you still need to imbue talent, skills and direction into these tools and I don't see management, who did not have the skills initially, being able to do that task across multiple business aspects and agents simultaneously.

I think for now and perhaps until/if AGI, the sweet spot is having skilled individuals with experience using the tools to known good results. You still can't really delegate to the tools, you have to work with them. The benefit to management that a human has is they can delegate to a human, even when they completely lack the skillset they are delegating.

I’m not saying it will replace all designers immediately. But same as with developers: it may kill many junior positions quite quick. That’s why I’m asking the guy to share his experience 3 months from now.

Whoever used to assign tasks to the designer might now be able to assign them to a bot instead.

Or the design may be part of a larger task that has been delegated to a bot.
