So, suppose it were possible to simulate a brain. Say someone in the future figures out how brains work, and boils it down to some physical processes to do with neurons and synapses. Ed Sheeran is then scanned, and a battery of machines produces new music from the patterns in his brain. What do you think of that? For me, it seems the creative process must be informational. It's something to do with mixing up experienced life, ideas, cultural tropes, etc. But in being informational, it's also not specific to the first substrate that generated it. In fact you have the luxury of being able to "run the code" on new substrates, and that creates a new economics of what is considered good.
