I do not think so, I believe it would be only a supporter for some beginners or to people who do not work in that field but eventually need to use such tools

No, AI is a tool and will only eliminate people who don’t know how to use the tool.
I don't think it will completely replace but it will ease up the design process for sure

In my opinion, AI can handle the technical aspects of design, but the heart and emotion in designs come from real artists.

Canva, Midjourney, and similar others are excellent tools but they wont kick designers out of job, for sure. I see all AI tools as fancy assistants doing all the boring stuff. These tools will free up designers from boring work and let them focus on complex design problems. What are your thoughts?

Instead of replacing designers, AI is democratizing design foundations while elevating the ceiling of what's possible. Smart designers are using AI to handle the basic stuff so they can push creative boundaries further.

From my experience, AI tools like Canva and MidJourney are amazing for quick designs and can definitely streamline certain tasks, but they’re unlikely to fully replace traditional designers. While AI can handle repetitive or simple designs, the creativity, problem-solving, and personalized touch that designers bring to the table are irreplaceable. AI can be a great tool for enhancing the design process, but human designers will still be essential for more complex, custom work and truly unique creations.

I see AI as a tool, not a replacement. Designers still drive strategy.

Yes, AI will master humans. We have no chance

AI tools like Canva and MidJourney won’t replace traditional designers, but designers who use AI effectively will outpace those who don’t. These tools are meant to enhance creativity, speed up workflows, and handle repetitive tasks, allowing designers to focus on strategy, innovation, and high-level creative work. It’s not about AI replacing humans—it’s about humans leveraging AI to stay ahead.

Those are just tools like Illustrator and Photoshop. Grammarly hasn't kicked out the copywritres. Canva has been around for ages. If you are worried I actuaaly talked about this with Kevin, a founder of strategy consultancy Plan.London you can check out our interview here: https://youtu.be/So3n8AzUrY8?si=...

They're more like advanced assistants than replacements. Human bring unique creativity, emotional intelligence, and problem-solving skills that AI can't replicate.
