Oh, I know some very spiteful computers

It's not art, it's a fleshlight.

Conversely, if it's a fleshlight, then by definition it is art

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Can* never

Yeah, well I upvoted this when it said 69 upvotes, and I feel proud of that.

Not necessarily, this only implies that computers are a part of a set of things that can be neither spiteful nor horny, and things that can be neither spiteful nor horny must never make art, not that all things that can be neither spiteful nor horny are computers.
