Is AI going to kill Hifi?

I work in the tech as a software dev which helps in affording my crazy Hifi hobby. But with in just a year, I have stopped coding and now AI does most of the coding. There are these systems called agentic AI that automates to a point where you don't really need much human interaction at all. 

It's getting pretty crazy. For the most part, anything a human does on the computer AI can do. And let me tell you... it's not a situation where it creates new jobs in place of old ones lost. Google has products for corporations that basically takes care of any need for anything. Ya, you might need a handful of people but not much more to be honest. 

I wonder, what is this going to do to the Hifi market? If AI eliminates all these white colored jobs, how will these Hifi shops and brands make it?

My advice is if it’s related to HAL, DO NOT TRUST IT!

I was surprised to see a number of stories (4) this AM on A.I. companies sinking money into data centers in Pennsylvania. Here are the article titles (sorry about the sizing).

At least $50 billion is going into A.I. in Pennsylvania alone. 

  1. AI cloud computing firm announces plans for $6B data center in Lancaster County

  2. Google to buy $3B worth of electricity for data centers from Holtwood, Safe Harbor hydroelectric plants

  3. Three Mile Island, the site of a major nuclear accident in 1979, is being revived to power Microsoft's AI data centers

  4. Blackstone to invest $25 billion in Pennsylvania data centers and natural gas plants, COO says

Personally I would really, really, really like to see more of the REAL thing in these disappointing/stain on humanity times.

I don't like anything about this AI. To me it seems sinister somehow. Now I did watch a lot of science fiction films as a kid.
