>Thought experiment: one day it is not uncommon for some deeply moving, emotional works to be composed entirely by computers (though performed by humans). How will we, as a society, react to that? Will be reject it as being 'unauthentic', or use it as an opportunity for introspection? It would even probably not be unreasonable to think that these NNs will be given names, and different NNs will be characteristically different, so then you might see a Wikipedia page or an album from a specific NN in much the same way we'd see a human composer today. How weird would that be? I know you're talking about Neural Networks. But I'd like to point you to Vocaloids. As far as names, personalities, and music go - it's a good match for what you're getting at. Hell - one of them is even famous for having concerts!
