The name for this question in the affirmative is antinatalism.
It is not a distortion of Buddhism to say that since life is suffering, dedication to end suffering means not creating new life (and thus celebacy among Buddhist clergy). You have asked an old question and an important one. Here is the new twist: if it is wrong to have children, how is it right to make an AI?
The argument here is “whether or not having children is good it is nowhere near as good as the other things you could spend your money on”. That’s not antinatalist, and even could be natalist.
