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?

AI is all around

Thank you for your insight. Yes l know l was generalising about the 70s and intended to say todays AI is the computer music devil in another guise. It’s creeping up behind us HAL fashion.
Are you related to Moon-Watcher from Arthur C Clarke’s original “The Sentinel” short story? If so l don’t need to emphasise the dangers of the AI future menace, and l am in total agreement with you there…… just a moment…. just a moment….. daisy daisy give me your answer true….. do

I’ve found that AI is "lazy" and would rather just pull stuff from the ’net, even if it is incorrect, rather than go back and check the actual source, that is also available on the ’net.

And because of this, it gets it wrong and provides the wrong interpretation.

And for those who don’t know the original source, people take it as correct.  (Sounds a lot like some people’s politics.)

A case in point is related to this record album.  Go to 25:35 and listen to the question.  Then research (Google) the question on the ’net/AI and see how they blew it and how it would provide a completely different interpretation.  AI just doesn’t get the joke!  Do you?

Not too worried about. AI still hasn't figured out how to correct or spelling yet!

AI is a very hungry and thirsty guy, he will starve you of energy and water, but then the masses are merely non-productive excess, productive entities deserve primacy.
