Reply to comment by Reaperpimp11 in I just published an article in The Journal of Mind and Behavior arguing that free will is real. Here is the PhilPapers link with free PDF. Tell me what you think. by MonteChristo0321

Negation-

Moving on to negation, this actually doesn’t seem to me to be what humans do. A human brain is a large number of systems “battling” for power. It seems to me that trying to say that a human being provides an answer that is exactly contrary to the processing is either saying too much or too little depending on what you believe you’re actually claiming. I actually think you’ve smuggled the whole free will claim into this point here.

Take for example chatGPT I think one could argue that ChatGPT could fit this if you’re defining it in the way I would agree actually exists. But I think for this term to do the work you want it to you might need to smuggle magic in.

And on the point of program data duality. I’d be willing to delve into this idea more but it doesn’t actually seem necessary at this time for you to prove this or for me to refute it either way.

So in summation I’d say politely that these are good and interesting points but I believe you’ve smuggled free will into negation.

A DUMB AI could arguably fit these three definitions depending on how you worded them but I think the fact that a “dumb” aI could probably work with an infinite computational medium shows us that this specific point isn’t where the argument comes from because I personally really enjoyed this point.

Plz feel free to push back if you’d like to go over it with me
