I agree that my "having a soul" comment is nebulous, but were into a pretty fuzzy territory as it is when it comes to "what is art", and thats especially true with music.

>If instead you define art as the communication of things that can't be fully expressed by direct sterile language

Reading this, the first thing I thought of was emotion, feeling! So much of that is wrapped up in who we are, in what we are, in our experiences, and in our limitations.

I like spitballing --- and the thought exercise follows:

Lets say tomorrow we have AI, real thinking machines, with the classic 3 laws of Asimov. Lets also assume we have a few of them. Because of what and who they are, is it possible that AI generates something that other AI's consider "art" but that we, as people, do not?
