Gotta quit anthropomorphising machines. It takes free will to be a psychopath, all else is just imitating.

Free will doesn't exist in the first place

Prove it.

Or not. Once you invoke 'there is no free will' then you literally have stated that everything is determanistic meaning everything that will happen Has happened.

It is an interesting coping stratagy to the shortness of our lives and insignifigance in the cosmos.

Free will, fate, and randomness all play a role in our universe, each parameter affecting each other. There is no such thing as absolute free will, nor does absolute determinism guide our universe, nor does absolute randomness. I think however, that our closest understanding to the inherent nature of our universe is a form of randomness.
