It reminds me of a genre of videos that would have you believe something is completely spontaneous and natural, but is actually entirely staged. The thing is only interesting under the assumption that it wasn't staged so they trick you into thinking it isn't.

Then someone in the comments inevitably says it is fake and everyone says of course it is. It's a skit, but it is still funny.

Knowing it is written by a computer and not by a human lowers the value of it regardless of how difficult it is to distinguish in my opinion. Thoughts and expressions by fellow humans gives something value and being written by a computer takes away a lot if not all of the purpose behind art.
