Is this hose supposed to be open like this? Just found it while checking my battery

I’ve only been driving this 2008 Hyundai Accent for a month and just noticed a random hose in the engine bay that isn't connected to anything. I recently had a sensor replaced, so I’m worried the mechanic might have forgotten to plug it back in, or maybe it’s supposed to be like that. Looking closer, it seems like the previous owner swapped the factory airbox for one of those red cone "performance" filters, and now that original intake hose has nowhere to go. Is it safe to just leave it dangling, or should I be worried about the engine sucking in hot air and dirt? #MechanicAdvice #HyundaiAccent #CarRepair #EngineBay #DIYAutoRepair
