The patterns that RNNs tease out of training data seem to transcend mimicry. An artist may compose a song that sounds just like another song, but it is not simply mimicry, it is influence. It is a learned set of patterns that are composed somewhat randomly. The human mind has this illusion that what it hears is subjectively good, but that intuition is built out of experiences just like the RNN.

How can you have an illusion that something is subjectively good?
