Survive. My survival is my own will. My parents didn't have me to benefit themselves in industry, they only want me to survive in the best capacity possible. I'm not sure how that distinction is not 100% obvious in 2023. It's not the 1700s in a planet covered in subsistence farms who need kids to work.
This is handwringing over the decline of paper or pencils after computers came about when paper didn't magically come about by itself. Horses were not wild animals in North America at any point in modern history and barely in other continents. They were purely bred for industry, travel, and hobby. When industry and travel no longer became a thing we stopped producing them: a clear 1-to-1 correlation.
There's already been reductions in human populations without AI from leisure, abundance, culture, etc, - a very very different causality than horses.

You make a very compelling argument. It made me think from another angle. Consider that there's evolutionary pressure on humans to want to procreate. So in a certain sense, we are conceived to serve the gene and to survive we have to labor.
