That is ultimately where it is headed and has been headed for over 100 years now.
The question is when will we get there.
If the answer is tomorrow, money means nothing and none of these investments matter. If the answer is 30 years, well lots of money to be made up until the inflection point of machines being able to design, build, and repair themselves.
You heard AI powered scissors and thought that's where we're heading? I think you'd have to be totally divorced from the average person to believe this.
Meanwhile people are still begging car manufacturers to stop locking their glove box behind a touch screen. Or how about a TV that isn't loaded with crappy software that makes it unusable after 2 years. There's a reason we don't put tech in everything.
Well, fortunately (from a certain point of view), it doesn't really matter what people beg for as long as they need the thing anyway and you and your competitors all agree not to give them what they want.
