Theistic gods are categorized as such because they’re like us, not in some different class. If the whole universe could credibly be called personal and intervening, a pantheistic god would exist. Pantheism would be true. No extra levels or different stuff required.
Not having free will would seem to rob our actions of what is traditionally conceived of as moral significance. Such a move would be fatal for a god.
You can build an AI to drive a car. The AI is a set of algorithms but just because it is a set of algorithms doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make good decisions.
It has input in the form of video and it processes the video and make decisions and gives an output.
As for morality, it is not really different than being a good car driver. There is a certain set of rules that humans want to live by.
The rules are connected to human emotions.
Again, you will have an input stage ---> which leads to the processing stage ----> which leads to an output.
