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?

In the hands of evil doers and idiots AI is coming of our lunch. Henny Penny may finally be right.

If you want to really experience the joys of AI, call any company using it for customer service. I have on numerous occasions found myself (even though I know better) yelling into the phone and using wash out your mouth with soap language.

The other day I was bored so I fed the AI a schematic and asked it to tell me all about it. It told me it was a positive / negative dual rail linear power supply, which was correct, and it went on to praise the discrete-transistor regulation stages and the substantial size of the filtering caps, and asked if I wanted it to run a simulation. I said sure, so it ran a simulation. It was pretty crude, honestly... but just give it a year.
