I would bet against this. I think we will have way less marriage, less relationships, less sex, less kids.

I agree. It’s already trending that way and I think AGI could push it even further direction. Only time will tell.

That's honestly super sad.

And some people actually look forward to such a future?

You don't think the decline of relationships, intimacy, and having children is sad?

People will still have relationships and intimacy, just not exclusively in the traditional sense. Fewer people marrying and procreating does not mean less joy overall.

Culture and traditions change over time. I don't think there will be a loss of intimacy. There will be new forms of intimacy. There will be more options. In today's world people feel pressured to marry at 30 and have kids by 35. I personally think that's a little antiquated. In the future I can imagine people being very independent, care-free, more bold, more experimental way into their 40s. If you empower people and give them more opportunities, then you'll get much more variance in how people live their lives.
