Comment on Musician Who Died in 2021 Resurrected as Clump of Brain Matter, Now Composing New Music

Characterising involuntary but normal phenomenon as intentional or artistic is maybe a little less gross, but still asinine.
I understand why you think it’s offensive, that’s fine.

I know what you mean; I think it would be hurtful to people with Parkinson’s, but whatever, I luckily don’t have Parkinson’s so not much point arguing it.
That seems like a very bizarre take. Isn’t that a very common artistic device, to find creative interpretations of natural phenomena, and to imagine intention where there is none? I mean, art is subjective so maybe that’s just your personal taste, but it seems like a strange thing to be offended by to me.

Interpretations are intentional, transformative etc.
Automating that is not.

How is it not transformative and intentional to reinterpret neurological signals as music?

The researchers are doing the composing, not the organoid. The organoid is just existing.
