    I have a hypothesis: Art requires creativity and other skills that are inherently irrational/emotional, so AI bros want to believe that art can be produced with AI running on a cold hard deterministic machine, because that would mean society doesn’t need artists and other “irrational” people, and then their TESCREAL “rationalist” dream of a perfect society would be viable.

      I don’t even think I really disagree with the core of your point here, but I think you’re incorrect in conflating irrationality, emotion, and non-determinism. If you want to take apart a brain and show me the warm soft non-determinism please do. But I think the reality of everything we know about the world suggests the human mind is an incredibly complex deterministic machine, orders of magnitude beyond the abilities of the machines we create.
