Free will is mostly a sham. We're here to fuck and reproduce nothing more nothing less. The rest essentially doesn't matter. We're essentially living through our own matrix. We also constantly change our own perception of reality, depending on how we feel at the moment.
The emergence of AI is nothing but a logical conclusion of what's happening currently, real or not. And surprise surprise large language models mimic how the brain works. Consciousness is a byproduct of the system and nothing more. It's all one system. Earth is part of it so are humans and even their insides. It's all based on universal rules dictated by this universe. You cannot escape this system you're part of it like everything around. All systems just increase in magnitude there's always a system of higher order, depending on all systems below. If consciousness is just a byproduct of the system, is it a curse that we're aware of our own existence? We might just not be as aware as we think. Just because we can observe it does not mean that we can make sense of it. Systems of lower order might just not be able to make sense of systems of higher order not matter how good their technology. Has peak awareness on the nature of humanity increased with the advancement of "modern" technology that much if at all? 
You're nothing but a small clog in a big machine that just happens to be aware currently. What happens if we push too far?
