Sorry, that's not going to happen. People are people, not machines, and if you tell them all the discovery and excitement of UI design has already been had by past designers, and that all future work should be purely derivitive, you won't have that many people staying in UI design. You're going to have to learn to live with the fact that creative people don't want to paint by numbers. Same applies to every complaint about new generations of people reinventing any wheel that applies to their field.

You mean, you would just need to tell the people that they have to do their jobs proper, and the ones that don't like to would leave?
This would be so great!
Or to put it more clearly: There is not space for any "creativity" when doing the job proper means to follow the text-book by word. If those people don't want to "paint by numbers" they should try to make money with art. But there is no space for them in product design.
Form follows function! Point.

This may be the way you want the world to be, but it is not.

What's the problem? We want those people to get out of UI design because they're making things worse by trying to be in it.
