    So can there never be free will? Or can artificial life be created with free will?

      I don’t think so. You can and should treat thoughts and actions as if they were taken with free will, but free will doesn’t exist as written.

      AI ior some human generated artificial life is no different than other programming would be as far as determinism is concerned. Just because we don’t write the program in the typical way doesn’t mean that it is any different than your standard script for our purposes. It’s based solely on the parameters that led up to it. Down to the atom.
