Suppose you lived in the dark times, where children have a <50% of living to adulthood. Wouldn’t you still have kids? Even if probabilistically smallpox was likely to take them?
Just wanna add that each of you children individually having a 50% chance of survival due to smallpox is different from all of your children together having 50% chance of survival due to AI (i.e. uncorrelated vs correlated), so some people might decide differently in these 2 cases.
