IBM back in '79 really thought they had it all figured out with this corporate manifesto. "Computers can't be spiteful or horny, therefore they can't make art." Fast forward to 2024 and AI is generating furry art and writing passive-aggressive code comments that would make any senior dev proud.
The logic here is beautifully flawed. Turns out spite and horniness aren't prerequisites for creativity—they're just what makes human art interesting. Meanwhile, generative AI is out here proving that you don't need emotions to make art, you just need enough training data and electricity bills that would bankrupt a small nation.
Props to IBM for this take aging like milk in the desert sun. Nothing says "we understand creativity" like a corporation in the mainframe era trying to philosophically gatekeep artistic expression.
