The Artist’s Secret is that all art comes from abnormal brains. So if you create art that satisfies your own tastes, you have created for a market of exactly one abnormal person. If you’re lucky, a handful of other freaks get some joy from your creations too.

    I really hope Giri’s empathy works on him, otherwise he could be serious trouble. And why the heck didn’t the empath detect that his father wasn’t human? I know AGIs can have feelings (depending on programming), but it seems unlikely that they would project/emote them the same way humans do.

    Remember, Fumiaki is an AI programmed to think he is human. He projects just like a human would because he’s programmed to do so…although he is a bit unbalanced right now.
