Well said.

There is a difference between hearing a story and understanding a story from living it.

We can warn others from placing their hand on a hot stove, but many insights have to be lived and experienced personally to be properly understood and processed.

Experiencing loved ones pass away is a transformative process for us humans. It is not merely information of a parameter changing value. It is a far deeper process that we don't even know how to describe to a computer program. And the program doesn't understand our input, it merely arranges it via a set of weighted formulas.

This is why poetry, music and art are fundamentally different when they are created by a human being; the words spoken by a human have a meaning in relation to past experiences, struggles, joys and the reflections of a sovereign mind.

We form words into ideas as a sculptor chips away marble to form a statue. It is a process guided by our consciousness. We put our mind into what we create. All our experiences flow through the creative process and converge in the output.

A machine producing the same output has merely reproduced something already created by a human mind. Most of the work is internal, not external. The finished visible piece is just the tip of the iceberg of an internal process.
