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?

I am beginning to prefer the older expression "synthetic intelligence" over that of "artificial intelligence." "Artificial" has been a trigger word for decades.

Ultimately AI data center energy demand and projected EV charging demand is going to force more nuke plants to be built especially so if our overlords keep closing coal and natural gas plants. Wind and solar will contribute a pittance. There is really no other way out.
