Let's just assume that people are designed and preprogrammed and all of that, and that the only freedom we may have is in selecting some course of action that isn't in our predefined routines. That doesn't sound like a difference between a human and an ai. That, if it were true, would be a similarity between us.
Please don't tell me that an AI robot could also be programmed to oppose (not update his initial routines to be new ones as in the evolution process) any of his routines (original or updated). But if you like you can anytime give me an example since I can't find one. Thank you.
I think you did find an example, immediately, as your paranthetical qualification suggests.
-but lets run with it. Yes, it would be relatively simple to program a machine to reject it's programming. That is..literally, a one step process. It's still programming, though, isn't it? Is that what you mean by our human freedom? That we're programmed to reject our programming, whereas "robots" are not programmed to reject their programming?
