I wonder how big was the job market anyway, if clunky free AI apps managed to kill it

Simply “web design” has been a dying profession in the US too. I’d argue website building platforms (SquareSpace and the like) have more to do with this market drying up then AI does.

According to Bengu and others, anyone can become a [shitty] web designer by using free services like ChatGPT, WordPress

That’s not web design, that’s copywriting. Impressive that he managed to get that money monthly from Fiverr, that means hundreds of websites made every month, I wonder what was the quality. I don’t want to be an asshole but maybe the same quality that you could get from chatgpt+WordPress and a free theme
