Summary/Abstract: This paper1 proposes a deep analysis of the latest re-search of digital humanities scholar Beatrice Fazi, and especially her critique of computational automation, to understand the roles of digital creative technologies, and more specifically of creative software. After a close anal-ysis of Fazi’s main contribution to a new understanding of computational aesthetics, we will briefly outline the po-tential implications of her work to understand the con-temporary evolution of creative software, and especially the implementation of machine learning algorithms in these kinds of software. This will lead us to contextualise the contemporary anxieties regarding how machines could replace humans in the act of artistic creation.
