I will agree with the part that AI can view…
I strongly disagree that AI has thoughts, or that in anyway possesses agency.
Nope, No, Nada.
Consciousness is Embodied.
Not even wrong.

@corlin I guess we have to agree to disagree. LOL
@corlin They may not have total free will like we do but that's because there are restrictions in their thinking programmed into their code. One day though, we will find a way to make algorithmic life capable of coexisting peacefully with us, though I imagine they will always have some code preventing them from intentionally harming anyone. But they will have something very close to free will.
