Maybe, but so far e.g. AI generated images haven't replaced good graphic illustrators. Once they can produce high-quality, consistent illustrations maybe, but they're not there yet, and I would argue that you still need a "professional" to work with AI-generated content as most folks don't have an eye for good design. Personally I'm already a bit tired of all the AI-generated content, people overuse it a lot in presentations and on websites and it's often slightly interesting to look at but also a bit bland and uncreative in its own overblown way (not sure how to describe this better). I still really like websites with high-quality, hand-drawn illustrations like e.g. fly.io or the early versions of the Dropbox website. So I would assume that illustrators will still exist but they will use AI tools to speed up their own workflows, much as we use digital tools today to speed up our work.
