But the AI draws on pre-existing human artistic accomplishments. It hardly has a soul to pull those thoughts out of.

Well, I don't think souls exist at all except metaphorically, and what does the individual human ever create that doesn't draw very heavily on what they've seen others do? Perhaps the only difference between AI and a human brain is that human brains are more complex. And that might not be the case for much longer. But I agree it's not the same thing. There can be a moral difference, for one thing. I'm not comfortable with some wealthy individual buying AI and using it to outdo individual human artists.


In this case, "soul" can be equated more with "heart." That part of us that can paint pictures with words on the page, or express anything else artistically. Without humans as the prime movers, AI is just another program.

Yes, heart, soul, otherwise known as human feelings. You're not wrong. One thing AI can't do (yet) is to have an emotional reaction to something and share it in a new and succinct way that with a bit of luck will resonate with others who have had a similar experience. Because we know it's only AI, we don't get that connection with another human that we get when we know somebody is talking to us, though if we don't know who or what is talking to us, we might take it for it real art, if the output is exceptional.

I don't know how long it's going to be before they make a robot so sophisticated that nobody can tell its output is not human. I expect it depends on who the human is that's receiving the output. Some will be better than others at telling the difference, just as some people have "golden ears" and can hear flaws in very good sound reproduction systems that give the game away.

Fascinating subject, often touched on in science fiction. Don't know if we're ever going to get anything like Blade Runner happening for real. If it turns out that the mind arises entirely from the complexity of the brain, then it's only a matter of time.

I agree 100%—AI works best when there’s a human in the driver’s seat to guide the overall structure and creative direction. I’ve used it to flesh out quest chains for a game I’m working on, and while the AI nailed the dialogue, I had to step in to ensure the overarching plot felt cohesive. It's awesome how it can take the heavy lifting off the details and let us focus on the big picture.

I’m not dyslexic, but I’ve always struggled with turning my big ideas into polished writing. AI tools have been a game-changer for me, too. I actually use a suite of tools like Creaitor.ai, which has integrated SEO features that make it easier to not just write, but also make content that *gets noticed*.
