web design is dead?

I'm surprised at this point in my working life to be making an income merely by pushing buttons on a CMS. I'm not directly using my background in typography, html, javascript, or even web design. My main task is to copy and paste URLs into online forms and spreadsheets. What happened? It's just the inevitable consensus as we approach the place where the bottom line is formed. Creativity seems interesting at first, but in the end, business concerns win out.

Eventually the robots will learn to feed themselves. Meanwhile, I'm lucky to have my boring and slightly stressful job.
