How did you jump from AI writing to humans becoming extinct? People find each other plenty interesting. Those who want to start families, work together, etc. can always do so.
As for misuse, you are again catastrophizing. Just because a thing can be misused doesn't mean it will. That's obviously not the goal of AI.
I didnt say extinct
Horses and oxen aren’t extinct. Just nowhere near their peak where they had been before cars and tractors.
They just won’t have as many children. It is already happening.
People need each other less and less thanks to technology. And they won’t be paying each other for anything when they have AI. Soon romantic relationships will be disrupted also, it’s called a “superstimulus” (eg when birds prefer fake rounder eggs to their own). Dating robots. Extrapolate a few decades out and what do you see?

Ah, seems like you walked back a bit on that. In any case, I don't see why you're so concerned about how other people choose to live their lives. For instance, if someone doesn't want kids, so what? You can't control that. Nor should you.
Just to be clear, you are supporting a world where humans are powerless, few in number, and don’t interact much with each other anymore.
As I’ve been saying for a decade, we are building a zoo for ourselves.
