Can you share more about why you prefer human to AI curation?

I think more because great curation is an art. And as Walter Benjamin in the “The Work of Art in the Age of its Technological Reproducibility” points out - the artistic aura of a work of art matters, the context of the locale and culture it is embedded into matters. The time and space in which it exists matters. 

It really means that the directness of the experience matters. Somewhere even the knowledge of owning an original painting knowing the artist painted it versus it was produced mechanically in a repetitive manner changes the mood of how one feels towards the work

A huge part for me is the emotional and tactile or general sensual experience that adds to the cultural or intellectual experience and that is often very different from person to person. It can only be emulated or simulated by an AI.
