Going To or Will?
In daily life is there a real distinction between  the following  structures:
 "I am going to + verb" and "I will + verb..." ? Or they can be used in interchangeable way?

'I am going to' suggests an intention or a plan.
I will suggests a confirmation that it 'will' happen, therefore more probable

Answer

There is a real distinction, but they can often be used interchangeably. I had this come up a few hours ago:
