I take this to mean you do not believe a machine can like something.
But humans, too, must go on data provided by other humans. I've often been off-put by a certain form of art or type of food, only to develop an appreciation for it when guided by someone who has spent time on it. Our culture, at times, feels like one large machine by which we teach (or brainwash) ourselves with what is valuable...except for when we just like something. In those cases, whether others may call it art or not, we, in the secret chambers of our hearts, feel something because we just happen to like it -- not always knowing why.
Liking a thing, seems to me, to be the core of what makes it art. And thus far, I don't think I believe AI can like a thing. although, if I introspect what liking actually is very deeply, I find a boggy surface upon which I tread with unsure footing.
If we could discover that machines liked something, then, perhaps we still wouldn't want them to judge our art because they simply wouldn't get it. In the same way that sometimes humans don't get the art from cultures that are foreign to them.
Yes, I suppose you have a good point. On examination, I do feel like I'm protecting human interests and trying to exclude machines from the posibikity of sentience.
Yet, what's the point in our existence if machine can extract the meaning?
Thanks for the mega zap!
