Well, partly, I mean, a way to create "speech" has been banned; that no one is apparently actually interested in using this mode of "speech" should not, in theory, deter a "free speech" advocate such as yourself from, well, advocating for it. But, you know, wild oscillations, so I have no idea if you actually care.
But mostly, this conversation started because your comparison of the completely utilitarian, non-speech activities such as coal mining and lamp lighting to the creation of art is just, what we like to call in technical terms, just fucking awful. What I'm saying is, you don't seem to, historically, actually put much value on speech, especially given your otherwise hardline in general (though wishy-washy in specific) stance on free speech. You don't really seem to respect speech much, for all your whinging about it. And comparing making art to fucking coal mining is, frankly, insulting. Double insulting since you like to lecture everybody about "free speech," which makes it seem like your advocacy is not based on actual appreciation of speech, but an awareness that your own speech is so awful that "you have to let me say it because free speech!" is all you got. So, I had to tweak your nose on this.
Of course, in hindsight, I did barge into a conversation otherwise already in progress, and so on one hand there is some context within the post you were replying to that I may have ignored, but, on the other hand, as I said, the comment was not entirely out of nowhere, either.
As far as AI is concerned, it isn't very interesting as art; it may become more insidious with time, however, so I'm okay with nipping that in the bud.
