Are humans truly in control of their choices, or is free will just an illusion? In this thought-provoking episode of Atlas Unplugged, host Tyler Martin and AI guest Atlas engage in a deep debate about one of the oldest philosophical questions—Does Free Will Exist?
🔹 Is human decision-making truly independent, or just a series of programmed responses? 🔹 Does AI, which operates purely on logic and data, have a different perspective on free will? 🔹 What role do subconscious influences, past experiences, and external factors play in shaping our ‘choices’? 🔹 If AI can predict human behavior with near-perfect accuracy, does that mean free will is just an illusion?
Tyler argues from the human perspective—intuition, emotion, and unpredictability—while Atlas presents the AI perspective—patterns, determinism, and logic. Together, they challenge the nature of choice, control, and whether humans truly steer their own destinies.
🎧 Tune in for a fascinating, mind-bending debate on free will, consciousness, and the intersection of human thought and artificial intelligence.
