That covers a lot of ground. No-one prompts us directly to draw or tells us what we must draw. Still, something does prompt us. Something does determine what we draw. It's our reactions to those somethings that defines us.
The unanswered question is whether there is something in our nature that differentiates our "initiative" and our "reactions" in a qualitative way from what can be achieved with current computational concepts.
I think the answer to that is probably yes. But still this work is impressive and every step like this elucidates the argument more clearly, reducing it to its fundamentals - rather than to crude heuristics about what constitutes a particularly human ability.
