I hate to break it to them but that's not a reason people would stop fucking - it's a consequence.

Downloads an ai chat bot
Iʻm no wizard of number words, but I think the declining birth rate there might have something to do with the decades of one-child policy that wound up favoring male children...
And the brutal abortions if the child being born was a girl
That's not an abortion at the point the child has a gender, that's just plain murder.

Who the fuck romancing AI? I guess this is new low for humankind, don't blame me if someday we got doomed because of it.
I hate to be the one to inform you but... legit hundreds of millions of people 😔
Lonely man here, I'd rather stay lonely my entire life than have my emotions held hostage simping for an LLM.
Held hostage? I don't get how anyone can suspend their disbelief enough to not feel like a tool "romancing" a sophisticated text predictor.
It's easier if you assume that these are people who have never received any kind of positive reinforcement ever in their lives.
Yeah, Same here honestly
You're not their target audience
Correct, I have some self respect
Thank fuck I am not
There's also the fun part where all your chats gets released in a court case or the AI company gets bought out by facebook and they immediately sell all your personal chat logs to advertisers

... ok, so we got uh... the 'BookTok' crowd of bipolar/neurotic smut connoisseurs...
https://www.reddit.com/r/MyGirlfriendIsAI/
... and a mix of hopeless chuds and niceguy incels.
And probably also just a segment of full time hikikomori permagooners, of any sex/gender.
There ya go, that's roughly who.
"hikikomori permagooners"
My curiosity is at war with my desire to remain optimistic about humanity
Sorry uh ... in less 'online speak'...
People who basically never leave their room/apartment and masturbate like it's going out of style.
Hikikomori is basically the Japanese word for a person who literally never goes outside, never socializes in person ... 'gooning' is now a verb for masturbating.
I mean, I guess I'd prefer my permagooners to be shut ins at least. Thanks for satisfying my curiosity!

It's cause young Chinese men don't fuck.
And you killed all the little girls decades ago.
A lot of those girls were hidden or otherwise, kept off the books from the Chinese government. Not actually that hard in the more rural areas. Not that that excuses the Chinese government's polices, but the families of those girls weren't all that depraved. Lot of of adult women suddenly started materializing out of nothing for college.
It's been years, so citing my source is hard, but I'll see what I can find.
...have analyzed statistics and found that a combination of late registration and unreported births explains a larger portion of the "missing girls" than previously reported in Chinese sex-ratio-at-birth statistics. Their findings are published this month in the journal China Quarterly.
The researchers believe local government officials informally worked with farmers and acknowledged that they couldn't fully enforce the one-child policy. Instead they made tacit agreements in allowing families to have extra children in exchange for social stability in their communities. The cadres, or local governments, would then under-report “out of plan” births that ultimately influenced the national population statistics.
There was also abortions happening and infanticide probably trails behind that. Not great, but not as bad as is passed around. People probably aren't having kids in China for the same reason they're not having kids everywhere else. Despite what we hear, people in China are either too poor or too busy with work.

Coming soon from Boston Dynamics and Realdoll.
That I cannot
Here in the States, AI romance is one of the few AI services common shlubs will pay for. Most users only use their free token allotment. Otherwise it's businesses that buy tokens and drive AI profits.
And US AI offerings are still plummeting into debt, so any service that makes money is welcome. So far, AI workforce replacement costs more than human workers (by far) and does a poorer job most of the time. Hence Doctorow's notion of a reverse centaur, the human employee that checks the machine's work (rather than the machine checking and augmenting human work).
Also here in the States we have a culture war. Manosphere men (Incels, MGTOW, seduction culture, alpha males, etc.) vote Republican, so influencers get infused with billionaire money. But women (even conservative women) find them insufferable. The battle of the sexes, like the war against trans folk, immigrants and libs serves to distract people away from class consciousness.
Zoomers are not having sex compared to prior generations at the same age, and an AI companion might be a serviceable substitute. They were already taking on waifus anyway.
The affordability crisis, poor job growth and poorer upward mobility also informs the lowest fertility rate in US history (below 1.6 which some think is critical). To be fair, US fertility has been below replacement for decades, and we made it up with immigration.
And it's the ownership class most frightened by depopulation. Curiously they keep making policy decisions that are downright anti-natal.
Their folly is keeping the population educated, which is actually the highest correlation with declining birth rates.
If AI could be better, there's no need to support education. But without source material from educated people to cultivate it's growth, eventually the AI will wither again.
We are entering an age of neo-feudalism because there is not much more to construct nor motivation to innovate (China doesn't scare as hard as USSR). And when an entire generation adopts malaise and substitution like the Zoomers, the old hegemony of US dominance wanes, which sets the groundwork for a radicalized future after that period.
It's like that saying: strong men make strong times, which produces weak men which begets weak times of increased radicalization, which produces strong men. Ad nauseum.
They're doing a lot to curb education now, and as it is, STEM and literacy are dropping hard in generation alpha.
But that also means the US master race is just not going to be able to compete compared to EU and China. If the US was stable, it would mean the US would turn into another North Korea.
But the US is destabilizing as we watch. We may end up in the same situation that Germany was in during the late 1930s, where they borrowed too much and run out of resources, and have a big ol' army standing by; it's time to get expansionist.
I think Chinese bombers over Washington blotting out the sun is the worst possible outcome, but it's still on the table.
Ah yes, those people are totally start going out and fucking as much as possible. It's not like that is a symptom of a more general social issue that has been getting worse way before LLMs were popular. And it is also not that people will develop relationships with all sorts of inanimate objects and concepts to cope with reality. The problem was just the AI guys, yay pat yourself in the back

None of this shit in China
LLMs are horrible at a lot of things, but this is one area where they excel i'd guess. The things are trained on volumes upon volumes of spicy fanfic and roleplay chats posted for free online. They can probably cater to kinks that I don't even know exist. Because the lonely aren't seeking objective responses the hallucinations aren't as obvious.
Not that it's a good thing that they are okay at this though. I'd hate to find out a person got LLM induced psychosis from their fake AI gf.
They're kinda garbage at any creative writing the same way they suck at humor; they're either weirdly non-sequiturious or incredibly boring.
Porn doesn't need to be very artistically advanced for people's consumption.
Look, stepbro, I got stuck in the washing machine! Again!
