I think there is something special. Some special coupling of emotional states between us (manifests as empathy, feeling of community, feeling of connection). Not saying that this connection cannot be replicated or faked, this remains an open question.

Perhaps building an AI vastly smarter than us will conflict with replicating this coupling. Perhaps we will prefer artwork from an AI with which we do feel this type of connection. Perhaps this will make us build an AI that is really close to us in terms of experiencing feelings an emotional states, even if it means it's less "smart". This wouldn't be a dull outcome...
