"Is graphic design dead?": Designers share their honest thoughts on AI in heated discussion

Bill Gates.

Designers are currently debating the impact of AI on graphic design jobs in more than one thread over on Reddit. After a week that saw Bill Gates' unsettling premonition that only three jobs are safe from AI (note: graphic design wasn't one of them), a timely discussion was started by a designer new to the industry – and many professionals have chimed in with their honest thoughts.
