You’re pushing a Malthusian anti-people and population decrease agenda.

Lika all the Marxists who think there needs to be less people.

An observation is not pushing anything.

I don't think he is pushing it.

The reduction in birth rates has been happening ever since the early 1800s,

This reduction happened well before computers.

I think short term this will cause problems especially as this shift to automate is very rapid

Think of this as similar to the weavers in the 1700s who suddenly lost their jobs to steam powered looms. That led to the Luddite movement

We will get a rapid shift now. I see this as happening over the next 5 years where white collar jobs get reduced by about 30%, but then bouncing back.

Why am I more optimistic? because I look at the code and look at the petabytes of data and how this all just confuses the models. AI is not "intelligence" but collation and categorization and while more data does improve the information, at a point it degrades the predictive and prescriptive results.

Oh crap! He isn't pushing an agenda. He is making an observation and then asking where the situation will lead. He poses an important problem. Our civilization is collapsing; and, what he observes may be a multiplier. Evaluating the problems we face is the beginning of an effort to postpone collapse.
