55 years ago Hollywood got it right. And yes this movie no doubt inspired James Cameron to create The Terminator franchise. The Machines will kill us all. Eventually. Don’t fight it...just go with it. Have a nice day!
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?

At no point throughout the History of Humankind, then, now or going forward, has there ever been a shortage of ’unscrupulous people’. And now, they'll have the free and increasingly available assistance of ’AI’ unscrupulousness to pad the numbers. |
@gents What we have observed over the past 15 years when it comes to searches and queries is that one's interaction on the internet is recorded. There have been a plethora of unscrupulous folks who have unwittingly asked their computers questions that lead to their arrest and conviction. Ask A.I. how long your queries are saved and this is the response I got:
Basically, I take this as "we will do whatever we like with your data". It is why I left social media (Disclaimer: I am still on this site ;) as everything you say on those sites is there forever. For those that have been in the business of technology, you know that everything on the internet is recorded and there is no law that makes that illegal. So go ahead, query A.I. to find the right poison (eye drops?) or just ask A.I. to create your manifesto to end the world. I could take it a step further - minority report anyone? - and figure that A.I. just may be the perfect place to find unsavory folks who are leaning into darkness. Queries can be misconstrued, but if there are a number of troubling queries made by someone who is known to be either a felon, demented, or on medication, you may have to explain yourself to the authorities. Make sure your documents are in order. |
How many times have we seen movies written one hundred years ago become reality, when it comes to predicting the future thought to be science fiction then. IMHO, AI will be the end of mankind as we know it. It will become Autonomous which eventually will be the end of us. As far as Hi-Fi goes, there will be no one left to listen. |
