WordPress's AI Evolution Is Making Traditional Web Design Skills Obsolete

WordPress didn't kill web design—it exposed how much of it was never that valuable to begin with.

Now that anyone can generate a 'good enough' site in minutes, the real game isn't building anymore—it's deciding what's worth building at all.

Now it's doing something far more interesting—and far more uncomfortable. It's making most of that work optional.
