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 just wanted to share a conversation that I had today with my dentist's wife who is a software engineer working in San Francisco, she manages a team of 10 engineers and is concerned about the rapidity of AI's adoption which she feels has broad and massive implications for the society at large.

From her POV, the break neck speed of AI adoption is driven by country to country competition and between company to company marketplace competition.

Moral, ethical considerations seem to take a back seat to the ongoing rush to lead or keep up in this business space.
