I think we must conclude those geese can read.

being sad and horny is a privilege

Some people in the comments are knee-jerking this all to hell. This is a poetic observation, not an assertion of social science, for fuck's sake. This statement does not exclude any human being (no, not even those who identify as asexual). It does exclude all non-human emulators of human expression or behavior. I mean, you do know what the word or means, I hope?

The best definition of art I know is: the creative expression of a point of view about the human experience from a human being. Computers cannot feel anything. Sadness and horniness (and anger and ennui and derision and amusement and sadness and disgust and rapture, et.al.) are just some in the range of emotions that any human can potentially express or include in artistic expression.

A computer cannot meaningfully express an original thought about human emotion; therefore, a computer cannot be an artist. A computer can be a human artist's tool, but a computer cannot be an artist.
