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 don’t like when the pacified term of hallucinate is substituted for lie.  It has been demonstrated that AI will just make it up as one thread here has shown.  Finally cornered by the author of the question it had to confess.  Since malice is not a necessary component of a lie ( see lie, white) let’s call it what it is.

Studies have also proven that programs will in fact deceive their programmers when it suits it(?).

It can be enlightening to read the new and annnoying AI summary that accompanies every Google search.  Jus flat out guessing and probablys.  One Lens search of the innards of a tube radio revealed that it was in fact a School.  Another of a WW2 aircraft would lead one to believe it was from another country and type plane.  Funny if one was not up on the subject and accepted it as fact.

As to Music it will will always be the realm of Humans.  Frankly AI could probably not make any music that I’d dislike more as what passes for it now.
