The article discusses the impact of generative AI on the design industry, raising questions about the future roles of designers amid technological evolution. It reports on job trends from a dataset of 176,000 listings, revealing that demand for designers, particularly in graphic and UX fields, remains stable or even growing in some areas. While architecture and product design has seen a decline, the overall picture illustrates a continued need for skilled designers, suggesting that the AI-driven upheaval has not yet materialized within the industry.
The clearest and perhaps most reassuring takeaway this year? Designers are still needed. Graphic and UX design job postings are flat from last year, game design postings are up.
We're no sages. And we're certainly not clairvoyant. But we can comfortably say that, even if an AI-driven design industry apocalypse is coming, it hasn't arrived yet.
