I feel that the hobby would devolve to picking a random target from a catalogue, pressing the 'Go" button and waiting for the image to appear on the big screen. Doesn't seem like much of a challenge to me.
I do astrophotography because it's difficult. I enjoy the challenge of teasing out an image of something that's invisible (and a huge distance away) with the equipment I have from the location I am in. I would get totally bored of it, very quickly, if all I had to do was push a button and wait for a Hubble-quality image to appear.

Yes, speeding up the process of dumbing down the population. I am no conspiracy theorists, but it's not hard to see problems with AI.
