    Free will is to perceive possibilities, weight them against each other, and execute the preferred.

    There's an error in the current definition of, "AI."

    The "I" part is for intelligence and it's obvious what "intelligence," we mean.

    It's certainly not the intelligence of a sunflower.

    It's human intelligence.

    To duplicate that, a machine will have to work like that.

    Any facsimile is a miss.
