One my computer science professors would call the more ingenious and brilliant algorithms “sexy” and it would make all of us in our class sigh with excitement and passion.

Will the era of AI make the artistic side of programming more relevant or will it deem it unnecessary?

Does programming need to be brilliant, sexy, passionate in order for innovation to thrive?

Does the the artistic side of programming have important repercussions in humanity and innovation such as Guillermo del Toro describes here in relation to images? (Of course programming doesn’t need to make you cry, although it can, but crying in the case of programming would be “fueling innovation)
