Someone asked me this same question last week and my guess was 2050-2060 for a complete Walking Dead scenario minus the zombies.
Before the Syrian Civil War my answer would have been "Possibly never.".

What exactly does the "end of civilization" even mean? Even if there was a global, societal collapse human civilization would still continue. Mad Max is an extreme post-apocalyptic future, but human civilization continues.

Make computer.
Computer predicts the end of mankind.
Humanity decides this is why we don't create AI.
People stick to pong for the next 2000 years.

Around 3:10 in the video, in hindsight is hilarious.

Predicted pollution up until 2020 "if we don't do anything about it".

And we never did.

Warned in 1973.

Then there is never ever a end of civilisation as long as humans barely survive fighting for scraps. But it's wrong.

Definition of civilisation:

the stage of human social and cultural development and organization that is considered most advanced.

So if we go Mad Max it is indeed the end of human civilisation. Not the species.

Tell you what, when civilisation ends at least you millennials won't be trapped in the capitalist system sipping ice coffee in front of a computer listening to podcasts and sacrificing your lives at the altar of corporate tedium. You'll finally have time to dedicate to all your hobbies!
