Comment on An AI startup made a hyperrealistic deepfake of me that’s so good it’s scary
JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 8 months agoIt’s actually the people who try to reconcile free will and a deterministic universe who make the ridiculous arguments, such as compatibilism, which basically just redefines free will. If free will were to be true, you have to have the ability to have acted differently.

The universe is not deterministic, but that’s completely irrelevant. The argument of free will does not rely on the lack of determinism of quantum mechanics.
And how will you determine the existence or lack thereof, of the ability to act differently?
I’d say we very probably have this ability, since we often reacts differently in similar situations. Ergo by your own standard, your conclusion is wrong.

You have to have acted differently at that time in that situation, not at another time in a different situation.
Buffalox@lemmy.world 8 months ago
You didn’t answer that.

That’s an impossible standard to evaluate, and doesn’t make the tiniest bit of sense.
