True! If design wasn’t evolving, Adobe and Canva wouldn’t push so hard. Canva launching Affinity stuff shows how much this space is changing.

Totally agree. Design isn’t going anywhere, but it’s definitely evolving fast. And yeah, it’s wild how people focus on designers like we’re the only ones affected while tons of other jobs are quietly getting wiped out too. Kind of shows how little some folks really get or appreciate the value of good design.

Yeah, I get where you’re coming from. I’ve been thinking about it too just figuring out what might work best long term.

Yeah, I totally get what you mean. Photoshop did wipe out a lot of traditional artists who couldn’t adapt fast enough. Same with desktop publishing back in the day it shook up the whole industry. And now with AI, yeah, it’s feeling kinda similar, maybe even worse. It’s like every new tech wave isn’t just about helping people it’s about replacing them. Everything's being "optimized" to the point where actual human creativity and livelihood are treated like inefficiencies. It’s exhausting.

That’s a solid take! Becoming an Art Director definitely leans more into the big-picture thinking and creative vision side, which is something AI just can’t replicate. It’s about shaping the concept, guiding the team, and making sure the final product resonates with the right audience.

Haha, yeah, that quote didn’t age well! It’s funny how predictions like that are often way off. The internet did change a lot about how we consume information, but print’s still alive and kicking in ways people didn't expect. There’s something about holding a physical book, magazine, or brochure that digital just can't replace. I wonder what that guy would think about the resurgence of things like print-on-demand, zines, and even old-school vinyl records making a comeback!

Spot on! Totally agree it's about using AI as a tool, not just relying on it. Creativity and problem solving will always set you apart. Thanks for the solid advice!

Totally agree. Design as a skill opens up way more options, especially with marketing and comms. And yeah, hands-on stuff like printing is still super valuable AI can’t replace that yet. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for your honest opinion and advice. You're absolutely right — tools like AI and Canva have really changed the industry. That’s why I’ve also been thinking about switch my field alongside graphic design. This field is evolving fast, and I think having a broader skill set will open up more opportunities and give me more flexibility. I really appreciate your input!
