What's your point actually? Honest question.
You're acting like the brain is some kind of simple algorithm, more goes into a painting or a composition than just a bit of simple logic. A composer is not sitting there at 2am on her Piano going "Hm, I like round numbers, so I might make this note a F because it's the fourth note in the C major scale".
I might be wrong but from my understanding, we don't even really understand how neural nets are able to make certain decisions or generate certain pictures yet, correct?

The alternative is to believe in magic. > we don't even really understand how a computer is able to make certain decisions or generate certain pictures yet, correct? I don't think that's correct, no. We understand how the process works. We may not understand the weights a specific neural net ends up with, but that's an issue with just having so much data to deal with. Similarly we don't "understand" how a web page ends up with a specific PageRank. We understand the process, but we can't manually reproduce the result because it's just too much data.
