But human artists have a physical existence, memories of the life they have lived, social interactions and relationships, hopes and dreams for the life they wish to live, personal fears and regrets. A human is not an empty vessel or a pure reflection of a dead corpus of captured data.

They have a story to tell.

I’m not saying that a machine cannot be contrived to fake a story, but even a fake story is just a derivation from a collection of real stories.

What purpose would a machine have in telling a story about a life it never experienced? At best it could pretend.
