You must not believe in human free will then. Or maybe you don’t believe the brain is the key aspect of human intelligence. Or believe the brain is more than just a organic NN


I’m saying that neural networks are so different from brains that anthropomorphizing them runs a real risk of glossing over important differences.

Terms like “free will” and “intelligence” are too fuzzy to talk about precisely unless we’re on the exact same page regarding what we mean. And applying our imprecise definitions to machines is not doing us any favors.
