I think humans are machines, they are just vastly more advanced than any machine invented by humans. This is something I thought long before the current AI hype cycle.
What do you think are some important differences between machines and humans?
What is the non machine part? What do you believe exists other than chemical and electrical systems?
Edit: If you mean machine in a more colloquial sense that's fine. Let us first get clear if we mean machine in that sense or in sense of any physical mechanism.
Oh that's what you're banging on about. You think AI is like a demon, or you think LLMs are people too, something like that, hence "I don't care what makes the music". That would otherwise be a spooky and implausible phrase that says something strange about what gives music quality, as if quality in music is something ethereal and mathematical and objective and detached from the human condition, and detached from artists. But if you think the AI counts as a person too then it seems less cold and abstract.
You’re not a machine. I’m also tired of hearing that ontological take spouted by AI enthusiasts.

What do you think are some important differences between machines and humans?
Is there a difference in how you treat machines vs how you treat humans?
If you're not religious, I would like to hear why or how we are not machines.
How are we machines?

If you're just a machine, can I unplug you?
The same way you can unplug a laptop, I guess?

Are you really suggesting quality in music isn’t largely mathematical?
