You’re talking as though the only decision behind reproducing is an active rejection of contraception. Whilst this be practically happening during the fecund period, it is hardly the only influence and is certainly not responsible for the d

I’m not involved in the space, but it seems to me that having a model, in particular a massive model, exposed to a corpus of text like a book in the training data would have very minimal impact. I’m aware that people have been able to retur
