2525? humans might be in a permanent agrarian society. All technological resources were extinguished 400 years previously, and the decades of wars that resulted extinguished every other resource that could have been used.

AI? All of the tantalum and germanium was spent on smart phones that fart. The same lack of resources eventually killed Fusion research. The commercial space industry never took hold due to constant global recessions stemming from one energy economy failing after the other. We never went to Mars.

There aren't enough resources left on earth for technological civilizations to re-develop. Humanity peaked in the 20th century.
