I feel like the world as a whole has no future. Between population collapse, global warming, and the rise of billionaires and AI datacenters aiming to take everyone's jobs, I feel like the future will be horribly dystopian. This isn't just a left vs right thing either. Right wingers know that people aren't having enough kids to replace themselves, which makes society collapse like Korea's.  

Why do you see a (slow and peaceful) population decline as a bad thing?

This planet is overpopulated by humans and the resources are limited.

In the long run, the world would be a much better place with less people.

Almost seems AI is coming at the right time to free up the job market for elderly care! The immediate future is in nursing homes with the aging populations in the West. The reduction in sedentary office jobs and fewer overall work hours, will also make for a healthier population. 

That's as long as people aren't going to spend that extra time making more people again :p
