Yeah, the whole emotion thing is bs imo. The idea that a machine can't produce something evocative is a defense mechanism, in the same way people still claim that we'll never make sentient AI because humans are somehow magical and special. Humans can find emotion and associations in anything, it's what our brains do. I could totally generate some AI art that tugs at the heart strings if they don't know it's AI, or "is creepy and bad meaningless art" if they do. I've tried this experiment with friends already. Plus, these models are trained off human output, so they can learn what to put in an "emotive" image. If the models were doing it for themselves they'd produce nothing; we haven't created an environment for machines where emotion was crucial in training.
