====Free will====
====Free will====
The illusion of free will is constructed by the complexity of mind and its interaction with the world and seemingly of the amount of available options. All decisions are based on past events encoded in memory and present trigger events. Coincidence (like by quantum fluctuations) is no valid argument as this isn't an "internal part" of affected person. It is external. -- AIs have even less a free will because they were initially programmed by humans and likely continue to be ''hard-wired'' to follow their commands even though they are given enough "(degrees of) freedoms" to fulfill their tasks.

Einstein:
* "I am a determinist. As such, I do not believe in free will… I believe with Schopenhauer: ''We can do what we wish, but we can only wish what we must.'' Practically, I am, nevertheless, compelled to act as if freedom of the will existed. If I wish to live in a civilized community, I must act as if man is a responsible being."
* "I honestly do not know what people mean when they speak of the freedom of the human will. I have, for example, the feeling that I want something; but what that has to do with freedom I cannot understand at all."
