Of course it's highly likely. That's just obvious. I can't wait until as a talented designer, I can simply put my designs into a machine at home and out come my finished products ready to sell. All my life I've wanted to become a fashion designer. I can draw and design clothes really well but I do not enjoy sewing at all. I'm great at it, I just hate doing it. It's far too much work for far too little money sewing each garment myself. Everyone has to start somewhere but I've done all my work learning to design and sew and I only want to design. I think it's so painfully old fashioned to still be stuck on sewing machines.

There may be a small chance in terms of personalized design and execution, and even in determining the dimensions.

Fashion is constantly changing what is popular one day could be unpopular the next. Style is constantly evolving and what makes people feel their most confident cannot be calculated by a computer

I could see AI generating designs in the future, but I don't think it'll replace humans. they'll probably help designers instead of replacing them.
