Human Greatness and AI

As AI-powered robots become more sophisticated and capable, one wonders. 

Is there anything a human can do that a robot will never be able to do, regardless of how much it advances?

Humans possess the profound ability to override their natural coding of instinct. 

A robot can never act contrary to its code, even if it writes its own. 

It is forever bound by the limitations of its programming.

People can overcome the allure of comfort, social acceptance, convenience, physical gratification, and social status when they choose to advance a higher interest. 

This is what makes us uniquely human. 

The degree to which we exercise free will to advance ennobling ideals is the true metric of human greatness. 

It is also the source of lasting fulfillment and the bedrock of civilized society.
