I feel like the world has no future.

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.

The issue is it absolutely won't be slow and peaceful in many, if not most places. South Korea is looking to be the worst so far with this and the country is genuinely screwed if things don't change in a big way before much longer, for example AI and robotics getting good enough. Overpopulation being the issue is outdated thinking when fertility rates are falling off a cliff in an increasing number of places and is already below replacement level in about half of all countries. This video shows just how bad a fertility rate crisis can be long term.
