Kant on AI:

Laziness and cowardice are the reasons why so many people, even after nature has long since declared them of age (naturaliter maiorennes), nevertheless choose to remain immature throughout their lives; and why it is so easy for others to set themselves up as their guardians. It is so convenient to be immature. If I have a book that thinks for me, a pastor who has a conscience for me, a doctor who judges my diet for me, and so on, then I need not exert myself. I have no need to think, as long as I can pay; others will take care of that tedious business for me.
