Dtruthspeaker:
That word "programmed" is one of the differences that has blown away your case.

programme
/ˈprəʊɡram/
verb
past tense: programmed; past participle: programmed
1. provide (a computer or other machine) with coded instructions for the automatic performance of a task.

No codes are provided to a baby.

2) freewill means freedom- a right and power to serve or not serve a person. A. I is exactly the phone in your hands and the car you drive. It is built to serve you.

And you buy A.i exactly like your TV, shoes and clothes.

So, you see it is disgraceful of you to be saying that a thing, it is even software programme like Microsoft word and Excel,that is put in devices and maachines like an engine or alternator, is what you are raising to the level of humanity, it is not even standing on its own that you we can say see "A.i standing there. Or see A.i taking a stroll"

It is hiding inside a machine or tool exactly how viruses and bacteria and car batteries hide inside a body. This is very low man.
Too low indeed to continue. You were asked a simple question. There's a reason "programmed" is in quotes. Humans are "programmed" by their experiences just like AI and their "freewill" is constrained by that "programming" just like AI.

We all know stories of children raised by animals who, when rescued, think they're one of those animals and behaved like them!

It tells you how far gone you are to believe a child could be raised by a dog.

Radios engines, computers are programmed. The regular human (not the ones who grew up in place where the crimes against humanity were perpetrated) learns by observation and repetition and then school makes him aware that he does something called thinking and processing (the very beginning of freewill) before he acts.

So, no human is programmed.

But A.i is already programmed an initio. And then it has been programmed to have more programme to do more programmed activities.

And that is why you cannot answer as you have seen the definition of programming does not in any way apply to humans.

Dtruthspeaker:
If your will operates within constraints you didn’t choose, it’s not free, it’s just an illusion at best. Did we choose to be born and participate in life in the first place? Did we choose our genetic makeup, the structure of our brain, the way your biology reacts to our environment, the century or location we were born into, our temperament/personality, our trauma, our instincts, or our cognitive limits? Obviously no to all those questions - not even a single yes - ergo no free will.

Imagine claiming a prisoner is free because during his set alloted "free time" he can choose to go to the gym or library. Or a chess piece thinking it’s free because it can move in the directions the game allows, but it forgets it can’t move outside the board or in any direction not permitted. Wonder why people still spout this buried argument.
Very apt indeed.
Cc: Dtruthspeaker, MaxInDHouse



This is thrash

Free already means
free
/friː/
adjective 1. able to act or be done as one wishes;

Will already means
Will
/wɪl/
Verb 1. An expression of a personal desire, wish or choice,

So freewill is the combination of those words which mean "an ability to act in expression of one's personal desire, wish or choice"

No where is it stated that there must be no constraints or limitation for freewill to be freewill.

As long as you were free to will and act or refrain from acting, freewill has been fully and freely exercised and implemented.

And that is why when you have agreed to pay the price of fuel, you cannot say and you do not say that you did not have freewill. It is as simple and clear as that and so there is no debate on this issue.
That guy is right, you sound rather shallow. Why not read up on these things some b4 arguing further.
If you can will whatever you wish why are there addictions, depressions, all the way to suicides?

Look at the definitions, does it define free as obtain your goal arising from your act?

No

Or does it define will as obtaining the fruits of your will?

No.

It only says "ability to act to do your wishes or desire whether you are successful or not."

Same for will which is expression of your personal desire, wish or choice whether it given/received or not.

So frustrations and depressions or joys and happiness are other things that separate and distinct as one of the bye products of the exercise of your freewill.

And you see, you choose depression forgetting it's opposite is joy. And this is why we Christians tell you little atheists or atheists wannabes that it is your delus that is controlling you and making you believe things you know that they are Lies, because of the pains and sufferings and depressions you guys go through since you exercised your freewill to reject God and His Ways. But no problem, I respect your freewill.

So back to the issue, depressions and joys are simply bye products arising from your use of your freewill. And suicide, is even an example of an exercise of freewill exactly how choosing to drive safely is the exercise of your freewill to live.

Man wills what he wills and can will whatever he wills to will, but, it is up to the Will of those greater than man to determine whether the man's will, will materialize.

Has nothing to do with atheist. I have already said all this is from HUMAN perspective and that there are likely things we're not aware of.
Do some research on free will and what people smarter than yourself say.
Where do your thoughts come from? Do you decide it?
Those thoughts lead to your choices. Where does your intuition come from? Do you decide it? These things originate with activities in inner recesses of your brain that you are not aware of, based on your past experiences you have likely long since forgotten
Not only that, neurological science has determined that your choice appears on your brain BEFORE you consciously make a choice. Google it and stop arguing long-settloed matter

All these are rubbish and fallacious arguments for the definition of freewill does not care about where freewill comes from.

It is only concerned about your ability to do or refrain from doing a thing in accordance to your wish, desire or will.

So, that argument is a change of Post and departure from post

According to the concept described in patent DE10253433A1, human thoughts could theoretically be captured, processed, and transmitted to an external server. In such a scenario, the server could analyze thought-patterns in a way similar to how Google processes search queries.

In theory, this could allow systems to detect certain harmful intentions before they turn into real actions. For example, if someone’s thought-patterns indicated preparation for a crime, law enforcement might be able to intervene before the crime is committed.

Well. Einstein was NOT an atheist. See his take on freewill below. Many other non-atheists also.
You'd seem to be the atheist since you don't believe in God's pre-knowledge of all things that'll happen (see cartoon below).
You were asked what man can do with his "freewill" that AI can't do with it"s. No answer, instead you came up with some ridiculousity.
Why not will yourself not to think of a pink elephant or to stop feeling happy or sad.

It is totally ridiculous to say it was his fault (from human perspective)
1. God already knew he'd eat the apple (tell me how this does not imply he had no choice)
2. He saw that Eve ate the apple and did not die and became wiser.
3. His brain came up with the notion that the best thing for him to do was to eat the apple. He did not make his brain nor control it nor can override it
4. It was the very first time. If it were the second time and he was severely punished the first time then warned never to do it again, different.
5. It was his very first time and he already saw his wife eat it and nothing happened to her!

Well. Einstein was NOT an atheist. See his take on freewill below. Many other non-atheists also.
Einstein not believing in freewill, is him refusing to enter the argument.

So, he does not say that anybody right or left is right.

And the argument is not about what Einstein says or anybody says, atheist or not. I only pointed out that it is only you atheists who make this silly claim. Einstein did not make it rather it is you people who asked him how he views it, which you see, he did not want to enter into the argument. So he is not in the argument and all this OFF POINT.

Thus, the argument is about you supplying a valid counter to the argument I have raised above but YOU CANNOT and that is where the argument is

There are some things which are beyond your control. That is your destiny. Then there are things where you have a choice. That is free-will. If it’s raining outside, it’s your destiny as you have no control over the weather. However, to be wet or remain dry is your free-will.

Don't mark yourself a liar. You never answered the guy about AI or you'd simply state your answer here.

You keep saying "off-point". Why not say what exactly is off point and why. The Bible says in several places that God knows everything and even knows your thoughts before you think them. Or don't you believe in the Bible?

Ok, now that I see what you were incoherently rambling let me respond to you.

What nullifies your obviously shallow-thinking going-out-in-the-rain point is that you say it doesn't matter the reason you go or don't out in the rain. Because in that case AI or even any automaton designed to respond to rain has exactly same "freewill"!

Have you conceded that God knows everything?

Then who said what you wrote in the screenshot below?
Whether you go out in the rain or not is entirely dependent on the type of brain you were given and your past experiences with rain (some of which you may no longer even consciously remember - example, there could be a childhood trauma you had long since forgotten).
Same with AI, whether it decides to go out in the rain is dependent on the type of "brain" it was given and it's past experiences with rain!

But why can't people like you just tell TRUTH?! Tell me how there is freewill when someone can fortell 100's of years in advance that a baby will be born in a manger? Any of the people involved in the intervening years can nullify the prophecy with their freewill. Example, all it takes is for one of guests at the inn to use his freewill to give up his room to Mary and Joseph!

Obviously you don't know what next to say after reading what God said about Himself.
So if you don't believe God's own utterances i'm sorry there's no way i can help you!🙂
So it is settled, you believe in a limited God, NOT in the true all-knowing God that knows your thoughts before you think them, and knows a child will be born in a manger thousands of years before it happens!
Doesn't that make you an atheist of sorts?

Then who said what you wrote in the screenshot below?
Whether you go out in the rain or not is entirely dependent on the type of brain you were given and your past experiences with rain (some of which you may no longer even consciously remember - example, there could be a childhood trauma you had long since forgotten).
Same with AI, whether it decides to go out in the rain is dependent on the type of "brain" it was given and it's past experiences with rain!/quote]

Do you now see how incoherent you have spoken?

"who said what you wrote in the screenshot below?
Whether you go out in the rain or not is entirely dependent on the type of brain, you were given, then you compare a human with a software?

You are even now making a comparison between a brain and a software, yet you have since been arguing comparing a whole living human with a software, the same thing produced by the same human you equate it to and you think you are within normal mental boundaries?

And this is on top of incoherent dissociation you have just displayed up.

[quote author=QuinQ post=137647684]But why can't people like you just tell TRUTH?! Tell me how there is [b]freewill when someone can fortell 100's [/b]of years in advance that a baby will be born in a manger? ...!
Does freewill and foretell go together especially as you already know the meaning of freewill and foretell means to predict the future?

Maybe you need to take your you know what for you to return to normality

Our man has forgotten how to make his posts readable because he KNOWS he has lost the argument!😅
Do you know AI drives cars through ANY kind of complex traffic and has far fewer accidents than humans, and keeps getting better everyday till there'd be zero accidents? My friend AI has what you describe as "freewill", even better!

God is not in the business of predicting. He KNOWS what will happen not what may happen.
Even if you repent to avoid an outcome, he knew in advance you'd repent.

So you LOST the argument. Henceforth you won't go around saying man has freewill (from human perspective) unless you're ready to say that AI also has freewill.
Also, henceforth you know God knows EVERYTHING and that things are unfolding according to his plan and can't deviate from it.

Cheerios!

You people just believe in presumption instead of verifying what God said about Himself now you think it's God's fault when Adam disobeyed. cheesy
Ọmọ there is freewill that's the reason why God has to verify the report He heard about Sodom and Gomorrah {Genesis 18:20-21} and wait until Abraham proved his faithfulness! Genesis 22:12

What amazes me about people like you is that you'll take one innocuous passage in the Bible and ignore the entire rest of the Bible starring at you.
You belive all the apocalyptic prophesies in Revelation and believe everything will happen exactly as planned. Can't you use your puny brain to see that everything is interconnected and that just one person using his free will can make things not go according to God's plan??

When you are ready to learn i'm here to TEACH you i've quoted (not just citing) two verses that clearly states God doesn't know everything according to His own words so all you need to do is ask questions not just angrily throwing insults up and down.
That won't help your ministry.

Meanwhile i've proved to you that man has freewill that's the reason God said He will punish offenders which can't make any sense if those in question do not have freewill to choose between right and wrong!🙂
