Not necessarily. An automaton without free will can consume and become the hundreds of bits and pieces of philosophies that are laid out in front of them. You might imagine the automaton to be like Kirby in the original Nintendo games.

Note that I don't believe any of this to be true, but it's an interesting thought experiment.
