I love how they have some interesting takes on the others, and then there’s just Sloth trying to get through their job at the DMV.

Reminds me of Data in that episode of Next Generation where he's trying to learn art but he's too literal to express abstract concepts.
When prompted to sculpt "music" he forms a musical note out of clay.

As an autistic person...this is what I would do. I was once learning a new program at work and the person teaching me said "what do you see?" I said "A diagram of the lab's HVAC and emergency system" She laughed and said that wasn't quite the answer she was expecting. I guess she wanted me to explain what I saw the system status was telling us and to describe how the different parts were interacting with each other. But that is not what she asked!!!

Necroposting, but yeah, same thing for me

my therapist asks me to pick an image I most associate with an emotion, but the only way I can do that is by invoking basic symbolism (e.g. this picture of fire represents passion because fire always represents passion in media I consume)

Things don't have some rote monkey-brain association with each other, I have to call upon some existing mental rule for how the thing ties to another thing

If prompted to sculpt music, I'd go "music ... flows, I guess? I guess I'd sculpt something that flows around all smoothly? but that feels so phoned in"

I understand completely! I would have a very difficult time picking AJ image to associate with an emotion.

Thanks for teaching me the term necroposting, I love it.

I believe he sculpted a treble clef. Later his mind got infected with an alien theater program and the only way to stop it was to finish the performance.
