What happens if the outcomes were obtained instantaneously, and without effort on your part? Would it be more enjoyable for you?

Besides, I don't think you can be driven by thousands of outcomes, by definition, as you can't be in love with thousands of people. Your main motivation must be the thing that unites them. Perhaps you are driven by the process of imagining solutions to problems and/or realizing your ideas.

The outcome I want from art is to feel some emotion in common with the artist. Machines don’t have emotion.

People who write prompts can have emotion. If someone is feeling really sad and they say to a computer "draw me a sad thing" and it draws something really sad and they break down crying, and then they show it to you and you also break down crying, that meets your goals, but it probably isn't what you meant.

The sad thing was produced by the machine, as its idea of something sad. It is not s result of this particular episode of sadness.

Put another way, “draw me something sad” is too vague; a million people can issue the same prompt, and what comes out does not correlate to any specifics of their own experience of sadness.
