Consider what AI and tech do to bridge the gap between generations. The further we go, the more the previous generation is in tune with the new. Now you have middle aged people playing the same video games and using the same tech as their kids, whereas in the past the older generation did not embrace it.
Or look at music apps, for instance. An older person used to just stay stuck in their old genre, listening to the same records or the same radio station. But now they have an easily accessible app like Spotify with an algorithm that suggests new music they'll like, which they otherwise would've never heard of.
When it comes to entertainment, hobbies, chores, etc, the generational variance is getting smaller.
50,000 years we'll have definitely colonized another planet or have a significant portion of the population living in space (if we're not extinct). It's a necessity.
Things can be done to resolve the resource shortages on this planet, but not the overcrowding.
