Notably, I questioned ChatGPT: What kind of child would Immanuel Kant and Madonna have? I found this response to be more humorous than anything non-Cuff or non-Voltairean since I last saw George Hanns a few weeks ago:
What a combination of pop culture and philosophy! The outcome would be complicated if Immanuel Kant, the precise, duty-bound philosopher of the Enlightenment, and Madonna, the controversial, boundary-pushing pop diva, had somehow conceived a child, either literally or figuratively. Let’s dissect it:

I am no longer a slave since I am in charge of my own behavior, which is freedom. Kant’s profound idea is that the only thing that matters to us is a goal that justifies everything else and doesn’t require justification in turn; that is, the reason we do what we do, abstain as we abstain, act as we act, and, if necessary, die such a sacred, ultimate principle, which governs our conduct, is something that we have ordained for ourselves. We are free because of this. Thus, according to Kant, the good will—that is, the free, moral, and spiritual self within the body—is the most precious thing in the universe and the only thing that is completely good.
