as a human being I am in-between AI, robotics and nature with its consummation needs, I code therefore I am, which is untrue because more true in robotic language will be, I am coded, therefore I am.
If I can write an AI that writes poems, to get dollars for it, then both the code of this program and its return value will be poems, but it will be a very terrible one to read.
there must be a recipient which probably must have a soul or a conscious. so if you think that a machine has a soul or conscious, every bit of zero and one will be part of a breathtaking poem.... but coding and language is related because it means compression of information on a higher level of abstraction, by AI machines may replace our brains but not our deepest inside. when I write a poem, I ask my stomach about his opinion, if he gulps, then it is good, false otherwise.
