For the creative side no. For any task I do that is repetitive when developing a site? I sure hope so. I wish there was a smart machine, program or being that could pick up on these patterns and automate them for me.

Web design is a creative occupation and there is no way robots are going to be taking over the job.

The creative/artistic aspect of web development will never be replaced but the technical/maintenance aspect of web development may be replaced.

Completely accurate but robots are starting to "learn how to be creative" so I would say yes you are correct with the current AI, but in the future, it might look differently.

Web development is a job that will disappear and give way to creating it with a content management system for everyone

Probably not Thomoane, CMS might be great but innovation based sites like social medias and core service providing sites might still need web developers.
