Regarding this idea that AI is going to lead to mass unemployment and make developers and designers obsolete, it's interesting to look at what the AI companies themselves are doing.
Anthropic currently has 453 open job positions. The company currently has a total of around 2,500 employees so if they hired all those people it would be around 20% increase in the size of the company.

With OpenAI, it's even more dramatic...they currently have 652 open positions but this article says they plan to nearly double the size of the company by the end of 2026 from around 4,500 to around 8,000.

And in both cases the open roles include things like: software engineer, art director, UI designer, copywriter, video director etc.
