I don't have evidence, but I am certain that AI replaced most of all logo and simple landing pages designers already. AI in Figma is surprisingly good.

I doubt it, you’ll still need humans to create novel ideas and designs because things will get stale after a while and trends/styles will continue to evolve.

Exactly. People are getting very good at detecting AI-generated designs -- because everyone can play around with it themselves and see in what ways they always tend to look alike.

To make an impression, it will become even more important to go with a real designer who can work in creative ways to regain people's attention.

But I have little doubt that a lot of the bread-and-butter, not-too-important, I-just-need-to-have-something jobs will no longer be contracted to actual designers.
