I highly recommend this graphic to everyone:

https://globaia.org/_astro/GA_1750-2024_DARK2.CKx3duw8_ZQd9m...

It lists 24 socio-ecological KPI across the planet since industrialisation beginning - as you can see:

There is not a single KPI where the curve shows even the slightest sign of recovery - and you can expect other graphs of adjacent KPI to show similar development.

In one sentence: There is no chance that humanity will ever come back to any pre-industry levels within the next 500 years. And by overusing our environment, our civilisation wont last 500 years. (sure, some hotspots will survive, but they wont have ASML Twin:Exe machines or cheap flight travel anymore etc.)
