But it might get really boring and pointless if I only watch and can't get off the rails

Assuming determinism, you could still do whatever you wanted. It's just that your desires would be pre-determined.

I think that's unlikely to happen. Even if it all is deterministic, the amount of variables at play will make it very difficult to determine the outcome beforehand (if not even impossible, eg Conway's Game of Life).

You personally determine what 'boring' and 'pointless' are and how important they are.
