Humanity went from the first flight to landing on the moon in 66 years. Do you really think 100 years from now we won't be able to custom engineer humans and grow them in artificial wombs? In fact I might even take a bet that we can already basically do that.
Agreed, the ability to custom engineer a person is dystopian, but a more limited version of that may become necessary If some environmental factor or vaccines or some other event renders humanity incapable of reproduction, which is a scenario explored in the movie Children of Men. You might also advocate for women where childbirth is impossible or carries a high risk that it would provide a way for them to to create biological children of their own. I have no idea about the precise mechanisms that generate distinct DNA from a child from parental chromosomes, but I will assume AI can be fed enough results from parental and child DNA tests for it to generate some routine on its own that can take a set of parental input DNA and spit out a resultant child DNA sequence.
Yes world population will peak at 9-10 billion, then it will begin to plummet, 5 billion or lower by 2125. ~2 Billion by 2130.

We shouldn't, even if we could. That is some seriously dystopian shit.
