100% aging population, immigration no longer filling the labor gap, as the immigrants of today are happy to to come and sit on welfare, Throw in this young generation spending more time on their phones or playstation than working and we are basically stuffed and AI won't build or maintain your house. Western countries make it too expensive for their own working class young people outside of the welfare class to have children as most can't afford a house, so what we are seeing and living through is a future based on low quality immigration and the welfare class breeding. It's going to get a lot worse, the democrat government types of the world have destroyed what our predecessors or hardworking families delivered.
AI could eventually make immigration largely irrelevant. Robots and AI could handle most forms of labor, removing the need for cheap immigrant labor altogether.
What we really need are major advancements in power storage and robotics. Once robots have human-level dexterity, adaptability, and environmental perception, and can operate for eight hours without recharging, even skilled trades like plumbers, electricians, and carpenters could be replaced by robotics and AI. In Terminator 2, Arnold fixes the car, crawling underneath it, tightening bolts, and asking John Connor for different-sized wrenches. We are a long way from that level of capability, but perhaps one day we will get there.
