[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9090368, member: 42856"] I am very comfortable postulating that I have no free will and no agency but I have the illusion of it while being manipulated by external stimuli and training. It's nothing new (Spinoza, at least, but I might be off by millenias...) but it makes me puzzled by debate about PCs having agency... :ROFLMAO: To answer the more serious points, you're right but I think the outrage is more cause by empathy toward RPG artists (because it's easier to have class empathy with them when their job are destroyed than with stock traders [who were thoroughly replaced by computer specialists and quant experts] and coalminers or factory workers [who were thoroughly replaced by machines or unhappy, low-paid laborers in far-far-away countries]). I think the existential questions IA raises are a small motivator of the overall reactions. Also, it helps that the legal questions can be answered without considering what is a creative process at all, because then one would have to wonder why taking a picture of birds is an artistic, creative activity, when all you do is push a button when you see one, while having a computer program trained to take a picture when certain conditions (a bird is in front of the camera) are met isn't.
