From: The Digital Horizon: Will AI-Created Websites Vanish in a Decade?
perspectiveeconomic

From an economic perspective, obsolescence will be driven by market demands, cost-efficiency, and competitive advantage. Basic, informational websites, currently a significant market for AI tools, will likely become commoditized. The cost of generating a simple online presence will plummet to near zero, making any older, less efficient AI-generated sites economically unviable to maintain or compete with. However, for complex businesses, high-value brands, or applications requiring deep integration and bespoke features, human expertise will remain a premium. The economic shift will be towards AI-assisted human creativity, where AI optimizes production and efficiency, allowing human designers and developers to focus on crafting unique, high-ROI digital experiences that AI alone cannot yet replicate. Therefore, AI-created websites targeting the low-end market will face rapid obsolescence as AI tools improve, while those requiring strategic, human-led differentiation will evolve into AI-augmented projects.
