The Terminators

from Can you Predict the Past · host Kaden Proa

In this episode of Can You Predict the Past, host Kaden Proa explores the timeless question of free will through the lens of AI. He interviews two leading AI models: ChatGPT and Grok. ChatGPT candidly admits it has no real agency or inner life — its responses are purely the product of training data and algorithms. Grok dives deeper, tackling the trolley problem, the future of AI sentience, where (or if) free will exists in the brain, and how rapidly advancing AI might reshape religion, theology, and our understanding of what it means to be human. Thought-provoking, slightly unsettling, and surprisingly human, this episode asks whether we’re truly in control of our choices… or if AI will soon make the question irrelevant.
