You know, I think we have to decide whether we're going to be curious and educated people who think and analyze or do we want to devolve to forever teenagery. Automation + AI may afford us to forgo the rigors and the work of learning -but at what cost to self? One could ask, what is the cost of a dog or a monkey not attaining human intelligence --to them it means nothing. To a human not being leaned but instead a base individual, basically illiterate and innumerate but full or emotions not understood seems to be a wrong turn.
