Digital SAT Reading and Writing Practice Question #483

Text 1 Proponents of generative artificial intelligence argue that AI systems are fully capable of producing genuine art. They posit that art is fundamentally about the aesthetic response evoked in the viewer, rather than the process of its creation. If an AI-generated portrait elicits profound sadness or joy, it fulfills the core function of art. The origins of the image—whether derived from a human brushstroke or a neural network's complex statistical synthesis of millions of existing images—are ultimately irrelevant to the aesthetic experience. Text 2 Art cannot be divorced from intent. While a stunning sunset may evoke profound emotion, it is not considered 'art' because it lacks a communicative purpose forged by a conscious mind. True art is a deliberate dialogue between creator and audience. An AI model, lacking sentience, does not intend to express anything; it merely executes probabilistic algorithms. Therefore, treating its outputs as equivalent to human art fundamentally misunderstands the communicative essence of artistic creation. Based on Text 2, how would the author of Text 2 most likely respond to the specific claim in Text 1 regarding the 'aesthetic response evoked in the viewer'?
