Объяснение:

As you have found, 'will' (future fact or present willpower) and 'be going to' (plan for the future) can often work interchangeably.

Как вы видите, 'will' - это будущий факт или 'will' - действие, связанное с настоящим, а "собираться сделать что-либо" - это план на будущее но они часто могут работать взаимозаменяемо.
