It's not really an issue of whether or not we seem to be doing x, in either case, it's that the relationship and means of inference are missing or insufficient. We don't even know what "acting like we have free will" would look like, as we do in the case of "acting like it's alive".
So what does "acting like it's alive" mean then? Can inorganic entities (extraterrestrial aliens, for example) potentially be alive under the criteria you have in mind?
