I wasn't bartering on anything? I'm trying to learn your viewpoint, but nothing is at trade here. And I could easily say that Eminem is not a predominantly country artist because his work is predominantly not country in styling. Just as I can say a cardigan is not a t-shirt. Despite the existence of cardigan shaped t-shirts. Can he also do country music? Of course. Am I going for a David Allan Coe "perfect country western song" in this? Of course not. You seem to think only things we can mechanically judge would be fair categories. Falling back to math, even. This is why you accept medium as a distinguishing thing. If you were to argue that some points are easier to mechanically distinguish than others, I'd fully agree with you. Just as I'd agree that spelling is more of a social contract than an objective fact. I'd still argue that "wat" is an objective misspelling of "what" in the popular memes. An artistically objective misspelling, but still a misspelling. Amusingly, I think appealing back to math would be largely where I would go here. Leaving aside that LLMs can almost certainly pick up on differences between prose structure and poem structure; my argument would be that most categorizations are predominantly nearest neighbor calls. Very multidimensional, but also fairly discernable. And sure, some items would be on the outskirts of a cluster, sometimes even between clusters. I'd still say the clusters exist and have major commonalities. To that end, I think we are at a point I can agree to disagree. I would be with you that some things are largely by agreement of the audience. You lose me when you assert it is at the deign of the artist. (And please note that I'm comfortable with disagreeing here... I'm not trying to persuade you.)
