Reply to comment by Terminator857 in What do you expect the most out of AGI? by Envoy34

No more overpopulation because AGI will supply low-cost mates.

What do you mean by that

I mean we already see a similar effect strongly in well developed counties. There’s fun stuff to do besides fornciation and courtship, and kids eat into fun time and fun funds, MASSIVEly.

Also, as you stop needing a small army to work a farm, huge families become vanishingly rare.

So just imagine the effect of having mind-blowing robot sex readily available. It’s not that nobody will have babies; so few will bother that the death rate will outpace new births even more than they do now

makes sense. If people do not die then they don't need to reproduce anymore. Even if they do it will likely be through artificial womb technology. There is no need to use your body as an incubator when you can design a machine to do it far safer. Sex may become nothing more than vestigial behavior.

What happens when bots are good sex mates? Give you a good blow so you don't have the urge to chase.
