AI is the popular cover excuse for layoffs.

I can’t think of a single job that modern AI could easily replace.

Video and graphical designers? I’m not saying this with optimism, but rather as as observation.

I know a handful of digital marketers, that work for different marketing firms - and the use of GenAI for those tasks have exploded. Usually tasks which they either had in-house people, or freelancers do the work.

Now they just do it themselves.

As a graphic designer, no, AI is not even close to making the profession obsolete. Unless you are talking about the folks who create social media cards and stuff, even that is a stretch.
