Except many of the same champions of AI are also speaking out against population decline (Musk, Altman, Bezos, etc)

they want to reduce people to have possibility to create AI centres... Highlander rules
No, I mean the opposite - they are advocating for fighting against population decline, and are waxing poetic on how to increase fertility and birth rates.
It's a real weird contradiction. They don't want the population to decline but they also want to replace everyone's jobs with AI and skip out on UBI. So what's the point?
Some of it's rooted with racial bias (most of Musk's discussion on the topic are focused on the birth rates of white people). Most of it I think is based in the continued dominance of the west. AI is good for information, but we're a LONG WAY from the robots doing the messy work required for human civilization to continue to function, so there won't be any shortage of work for a long time.
Slavery. They've all specifically stated that exact goal as well. No contradiction at all.
