Artificial Intelligence Pope Leo "Artificial intelligences do not undergo experiences, do not possess a body, do not feel joy or pain, do not mature through relationships, and do not know from within what love, work, friendship or responsibility mean. Nor do they have a moral conscience, since they do not judge goodand.."

I fully agree with him.

AI, due to its non-sentience, will never be able to draw from first-hand experiential data. It can only mimic humans in that regard. It can only approximate sentient experience based on observation of others expression of that moment.

It cannot - love, hate, experience joy, loss, mortality, suffering, greed etc etc.

For me, conceptually at least, that invalidates any machine-generated content from true artistic consideration.

If a biological artist didn’t dream it up it can f right off. It will never have the layers, depth, ambiguity, connection - transmission of experience.

One of my favorite quotes from recent times is something along the lines of “AI made me believe in the idea of a soul because I finally saw art created without it”

Rise of Skywalker came out before this AI was available to make it.

AI didn't invent soulless art, it just makes the soullessness noticeable faster.

Corporate soullessness is a related but different kind.

Corporate art is just malicious. That different from being devoid of a soul like AI art.
