I find this view completely mystifying. The image generator that somebody piped random() into didn't fall off a tree - a human made it. They took pure thought-stuff, as Fred Brooks put it, and instead of shaping it into an image they made an image generator. Do you imagine that person had no human connection/story/manifesto/whatever? Or their human x/y/z disappeared because they used code instead of a paintbrush, or what?

(Aside: this view seems doubly odd coming from a fine-art photographer. If you've been doing it long you'll surely have met folks who scoff that "it's just clicking a shutter button". Are you not doing something similar here?)
