    I’m interested in the people that make the stuff I consume. When I read something or enjoy a piece of art, much of the enjoyment is imagining why the artist made the decisions they did. If it was made by AI, the answer is much less interesting.

      This is not a piece of art, it’s a piece of educational material showing people what information websites collect about them. But it’s also fascinating how you could enjoy something if you didn’t know how it was produced, and then the act of knowing would remove the enjoyment you were deriving from it.

        The enjoyment includes the feeling of reaching out to another person’s mind. Finding out there is no mind is like expecting stairs where there are none and stepping into emptiness.

          That’s just complete misunderstanding of how people use these tools. The intention still comes from somebody’s mind. Somebody had an idea and they used the tool to execute it.

            They’re the client, not the artist. There is no artist and no artist’s mind to connect to.

              In the same way a photographer is a client of the camera.

                I cannot begin to explain the misunderstandings in this statement.

                  That’s because there is no misunderstanding in this statement. It’s just that your argument happens to be incoherent.
