Most of the reasonable definitions I've heard of for what it would mean to have 'choice' can work with Compatibilism, so I don't consider it a cop out. What definition of free will and 'choice' are you using that causes the problem?

A algorithm can choose something (e.g. netflix will choose a particular film to recommend), and it doesn't cause anyone to worry about free will.

My favourite way of thinking about 'free will', is that it is what it feels like from the inside of an algorithm that is choosing.
