I can't quite follow what you're saying due to your choice of subjects. "It's just stealing the most important thing humans create so we can create soulless algorithmic versions of it for our own uses..." Who is the 'we' there if not 'humans?' I can tell you the machines do not care one way or the other about art. What we're looking at is the ability for humans who have not trained to be artists being able to create something similar to trained output. That's what technology does: augment human capacity to do something. It's what it always does.
