Okay so we can synthesize free will so, what other reasons are there that stop us from synthesizing thinking? I understand there is more to thinking than computing and if there is something supernatural in play then thinking could be transcendent. I'm not so sure that thinking is transcendent. Maybe it is.

I didn’t say a RNG would synthesize freewill, only that it makes the software indeterminate.

LLMs already use RNG a lot. They’re not “conscious.”

For AI’s to think more like humans they need layers, loops, senses and continuous operation, not start and stop based on our prompts. But they’re getting there.
