Touhou Project creator ZUN says AI can never beat human creativity. “We’re all just too poisoned by capitalism.” - AUTOMATON WEST (automaton-media.com)

“Humans who create things can beat technology just by creating things. However, humans probably can’t beat business. But we don’t really need business (laughs). This idea that people need to do business while they’re alive is just a result of us all being poisoned by capitalism. Which makes me think – just doing something you consider fun and putting in the effort to refine that skill is ultimately a good thing. That’s my opinion, at least,” he added.

Let's gooo let's hear it for my favorite functional alcoholic ZUN-san ⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨⑨

Also it's a low bar to clear but he's been enmeshed in the internet and doujin culture for like over 30 years now and despite all that he seems like a normal dude who likes making music and games. He even has a wife and kids! Never got outed as a creep, always stuck to his principles about being independent, never sold out.
