I keep telling you, the cyberpunk dystopia you're gonna get isn't gonna be Blade Runner.
It's gonna be Her.
It's gonna be Her.
This isn't a joke. There's a loneliness epidemic that's getting worse every year, and even though it's probably being caused by technology, we will become increasingly dependent on technology to cope with loneliness, to the point that entire industries will spring up around it.
It's already happening in Japan.
No one is going to leave their wife for an A.I. girlfriend.
However, people who never had a girlfriend (an increasing percentage of boys and young men) growing up in an era of technology dependence will see it as normal to date an A.I.

People will take the path of least resistance and become dependent on A.I. companions, porn, and sex robots, and this will cause a reproduction crisis as older generations start to die out and there will be fewer young people to take care of them or replace them in the workplace.
This is already becoming a problem even before the population collapse. There are too few young people learning trades to replace our civilization's aging farmers, welders, electricians, etc. It will only get worse when there aren't enough young people who exist to replace them.
