I bet on the opposite. We will rapidly see hand-crafted UI disappear. This is a next Google/Facebook opportunity. This will take place within 5 years.

I also think UI will be one of the first areas to be partially automated, or web based at least, partly because there is so much public data to consume and it all fits common patterns which is just what AI is good at.
