We are so much more productive nowadays and so much more could be automated. With a fair wealth distribution, we could easily retain our standard of living despite our declining population. Could.

    I would argue yes, but to a point. Should the population continue to be below replacement, that would still fail, unless we get the "best case AI situation" where it acts as a benevolent godlike intelligence that makes robots for us and runs off of renewable energy and sodium ion batteries or something.
