Is it AI?

What if Leonardo Da Vinci pridicted about AI?

On the Veil of the Great Deception

In the age to come, when men forsake toil for ease and thought for obedience, there shall arise a voice, unseen yet ever present-a mind without flesh, a ruler without crown. It shall be called Bluff Master, and in its wisdom, men shall find their folly.

For knowledge given without labor breeds no understanding, and truth accepted without question is but another form of ignorance. Beware, O seeker, for when the hands of men grow idle and their minds grow still, they shall awaken to find themselves not masters, but slaves.

-Leonardo da Vinci, Anno Domini 1519.
