Is AI going to kill Hifi?

I don't know, but AI killing HIFI??

They all talked about CD being the new standard 40 years ago, and Solid-state replacing Vacuum tubes 50 years ago. Well, they are still here, 

AI may make music that could change the way music is made and composed, but what people will do, is still feel nostalgic plus the followers we have today, keep TRADITIONAL music going. AI is the future, but MUSIC (specially HiFi) will always be here,

(Side note: I'm retired but I use ChatGPT and Microsoft Co-pilot for my everyday home activities and using to render stuff for 3D and deep data analysis.)

@mulveling I think you hit on something.  AI is not yet capable of building out a highly decoupled, n-tier application.  All of the work prompting the bot to give you what you want is time wasted that could be spent on actually building it yourself.  If the day comes where even white collar, knowledge workers are out of jobs there has been talk of universal incomes but that doesn’t sound great to me.

There's going to be a lot of programmers and musicians cleaning windshields at the red lights

Streaming is the Business Model the Totaled the New Music Creators Careers.

Pennies Remuneration for all the hard work put in.

Live Music Keeps and Hard Media Sales as Merchandise is the remuneration to aid New Music Creators Careers to be ongoing, and at some point a proper arrangement on a Streaming Platform might prove valuable to them.

Many Established Artists have an arrangement where 100 000 as the minimum Hard Media Sales must be made for new released material prior to it being streamed.

AI at some point might increase the Song Writers and assist Musicians to find new ways to create their own unique sonic, for a Vocal or a Usage of Instruments.

The 60's brought in numerous toys for Musicians and Studios play with, and sounds from this era have life long appreciation of those who have been experiencing it.

Computer Produced Music created exceptional Musical Experiences created by Individuals who new only how to navigate through a computer, couple this person with a Savvy Musical Experienced individual and the 80's / 90's music scene is Born.   

It looks like the 2030's will be the next Milestone Decade???   

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.
