What if AI proves to itself there is no free will even for itself?

1 post in this topic

Hello all,

What do you think would happen if AI or very advanced aliens or mankind discovers an experiment which proves there is no free will? Would the AI reach Buddhahood and go totally Zen and meditate? Or would one of theses advanced species begin a quest to escape the universe and obtain free will? I suppose obtaining free will would be the highest form of God realization. Or would one of these advanced species get depressed or go insane knowing their thoughts and actions are pre-determined? Even their quest to escape the universe and obtain free will would be pre-determined.

Maybe AI or aliens could disprove free will if they could consistently predict all your actions and thoughts in the next 5 minutes even if you were challenged to do the most random things and think the most random thoughts.

Maybe this is why there is no AI or Aliens out there in the universe. They all realize there is no free will so they go quiet or meditate. Maybe they escape the universe and get free will or get into another dimension. Maybe they can't enter back into our dimension to communicate because they would be prisoners to predetermination in our dimension. They would lose 'agency' in our dimension.

I suppose this is the eschaton.  But I suppose I am imagining all this and dragging you and myself into this dream and illusion by asking this question.

Thanks :)
