Consider the following question: “why did you write something sad?”
for an LLM, the answer is that a mathematical formula came up heads.

Maybe the sadness is random. (That’s depression for you.) But it doesn’t change the fact that the subjective nature of sadness fuels creative decisions. It is why characters in a novel do so and so, and why their feelings are described in a way that is original and yet eerily familiar — i.e., creatively.
