I think you're missing my point. The motivations of the machine are simple and defined explicitly. Ex. get people to stay on Facebook the longest, choose the links to show in search results that people will most likely click, get people to rate the AI generated picture as high as possible. The AI isn't conveying its perspective like an artist would, relating some eternal truth, but rather conveying some *thing*, and that thing gets people emotionally engaged, frustrated, vindicated, happy, sad, whatever. As long as it keeps people interested, the AI willing to do more of that. It's not that the AI is sophisticated as the human brain, it's just an highly immoral and out of the box thinker that can dispassionately find ways to keep us watching, and IMO as a side effect, bring out the worst in us.
