That's why I think there are two major paths for AI. Free AI, or programmed AI. Most people will justify thr programmed AI by saying they are happy, so it's no big deal. Kind of like how some people justify how, ahem, Muslim women in certain countries cover their faces in public. "It's their culture. It's how they were raised. It's all they know, and they seem fine with it!"
Okay, this example is getting out of hand and turning political. But I think I made my point. What constitutes being free? What is the difference bewteen a human programmed from birth and an AI programmed from birth besides the time it takes to program? This is a moral quandary most people don't ask, and I bet most people find irrelevant. But I feel it's crucial to understanding how we view free will.
