I can't believe I have to say this but:
1. Code IS a form of creativity.
2. Code reflects its author(s).
4. The above points have been well-established throughout computing history.
5. I won't "let it go" because, again, this is literally well-established throughout computing history.
6. If you refuse to believe that code itself is a form of creativity, please fuck off and take your flawed logic with you.

This is also Yet Another reason why LLM code is bad. It's a lifeless blend of everything, not something with a coherent story and certainly not something that really reflects the passion of any one author.

@hexaheximal @blainsmith agreed, personally I've never felt artistic but writing code and building things makes me feel creative with a fluency that I suspect an artist feels when creating a painting.
