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?

At no point throughout the History of Humankind, then, now or going forward, has there ever been a shortage of ’unscrupulous people’. And now, they'll have the free and increasingly available assistance of ’AI’ unscrupulousness to pad the numbers. |

How many times have we seen movies written one hundred years ago become reality, when it comes to predicting the future thought to be science fiction then. IMHO, AI will be the end of mankind as we know it. It will become Autonomous which eventually will be the end of us. As far as Hi-Fi goes, there will be no one left to listen. |
Al in music In the late 60s with the Moog synthesiser bursting on the scene, record companies went bonkers and released “computer music“ (electronic music) in the 70s. The idea was that computers actually composed the music on these records. A gimmick that lasted a short time as it was of novelty value and complete rubbish. I strongly believe it was a publicity stunt and humans were involved. With the proposition that AI will write music it would have to have feelings and a soul first or it will go the way of computer music |
