The soul thing is very poor ground to argue on yes which is why I immediately spent the time to make a different one :)
At very best it's an intuitive understanding of "procedural oatmeal" where the brain spots patterns in the output so quickly it becomes tired of the art and loses interest.
But I think that's being generous and I think of lot of the time it's a purely to stake a position based on identity and a challenge to that identity.
Of course! I didn't mean to suggest you are arguing about the soul thing. I'm sorry if that's the impression I created, since you've been very clearly arguing on a very different tract that I firmly agree with.
Oh dear no I'm repying to agree. It is all good.
It's a lazy Sunday and while I have a dozen better things to do trying to make clear posts about ai in a place where people will agree intelligently is a nice waste of time.
