Just a thought. I don't think AI can replace the relationship between a parent and a child and the child rearing parents do. It's just too much of a mystery as to how good parenting works. There are too many factors involved. Anything involving humans - juries, voters, marriage, raising children - cannot be predicted. And the theory of mind, that children on the autism spectrum lack - I don't see AI having that ability necessary to sustain human relationships. And parents rely on their parents to guide them (if their parents did a good job at parenting).
However, at least one of those parents needs to be a breadwinner to sustain the family. The vast majority of fathers are, to-date, men. So I think the loss of identity grounded in what we do is going to be much worse for men than for women.

Just a thought.
And an excellent one.
