>Now we could start on the assumed role of complex neurotransmitters in the creative process of the brain and the trivial way reinforcement learning rewards artificial agents, but that would push the scope of this comment.

You can't really separate emotion and aesthetics from the neurotransmitters helping to implement them! They're considerably more complex than anyone usually gives credit for.

Likewise, to form a valuable proposition, you need a sense of value, which is rooted in the same neurological functionality that creates emotion and aesthetics.

Wow. I want to thank you for engaging on that point! The "Hume's guillotine" dichotomization between "cognitive" processing and "affective" processing tends to be the thing our lab receives the most pushback on.
