This question is much more interesting when you realize that modern neuroscience is (slowly) going more and more into area that there is no free will in humans.

What is a reason to live if they are not your decisions driving it? Skipping over all (judical etc) consequences, if this is true, then life has no sense and it's more/less ok to end it - what's funny, suicide would also not be your (as in free will) decision... Meaning this is a time bomb programmed into any thinking brain (and any AI as, what's double funny, this logic also applies to any AI).
Dodge that homo sapiens :)

Science inherently approaches the universe in a way which leaves no room for materially meaningful "free will"; only strict material determination and randomness.
- idanoeman 10y agoI don't think the scientific method is inherently materialistic - it's just that our most validated theories about how the world work are materialist.
