My comment was satirical too actually. The whole idea of thinking computers have created something "new and original" just by shoving together bits and pieces of human-produced works of art seems somewhat ridiculous. It's not entirely ridiculous, as the computer did do some manual labor of piecing together the words, but ultimately, you are relying on a corpus of pre-existing work and then reassembling it together. Any emotion (or indeed, most of anything good) comes from the corpus, not from the bot analyzing and imitating the corpus.
