Can I still get into UI/UX design if I don't like using AI?
I've been searching a lot about how getting a job in UI/UX design would look like, ik it's rediculous to think one could completely ignore ai in UI/UX in today's world but after doing a tech related course I cannot afford to think about going into a totally different field that doesn't use ai, I need to know if there's still place for people in this field who won't have to use AI (at all cost preferrably) and their work would rely highly on their own brain, capabilities and problem solving. I really love creating UIs but since that's shifting way too much towards AI, I thought about getting into UX research instead sinse it seems for human focused.
I would like know about the current condition of UX designer/researchers and what all kind of work do they do on day-to-day basis.
How to get into UX design, entry level?
If ai being integrated into UX research/designer s work as well, and if yes then is it avoidable?
Can UX research be fitting for someone who is highly artistic and creative but not too logical? Also what kind of mindset should one have to become a UX researcher?
