Firstly, @snooggums@kbin.social = @kibiz0r@midwest.social ? I was responding to the latter, so when you say I am saying (implicit format, to clarify, when I said X, I was [meaning to say] Y. ) I don't know which part of what reply fulfills X, unless you just mean to be emphatic. (e.g. He's mad! Mad, I tell you! ) So my thread context is lost.

Secondly the AI's lack of human experience seems irrelevant. Human artists commonly guess at what dogs think / feel, what it is to be a racial minority, another sex or whatever it is to not be themselves. And we're not great at it. AI, guessing at what it is to be human doesn't have a high bar to overcome. We depend on abstracts and third-party information all the time to create empathizable characters.

For that matter, among those empathizable characters, synthetic beings are included. The whole point of Blade Runner 2049 is that everyone, synthetic or otherwise, is valid, is deserving of personhood.

Again, you can say by fiat an AI has the personhood of a toaster, but that doesn't make the content it creates less quality or less real. And given in the past how often we've disparaged art for being made by women, by non-whites, by Jews, we as a social collective have demonstrated our opinion is easily biased to arbitrarily favor those sources we like.

You're not going to find any way to objectively justify including only human beings as qualified to make art.
