> humans are glorified pattern matchers too and the distinction is meaningless.

I'm still convinced that this is true. The more advances we make in "AI" the more i expect we'll discover that we're not as creative and unique as we think we are.

I suspect you're right. The more I work with AI, the more clear is the trajectory.

Humans generally have a very high opinion of themselves and their supposedly unique creative skills. They are not eager to have this illusion punctured.

Whether or not we have free will is not a novel concept. I simply side on us being more deterministic than we realize, that our experiences and current hormone state shape our output drastically.

Even our memories are mutable. We will with full confidence recite memories or facts we've learned just moments ago which are entirely fictional. Normal, healthy adults.
