I think this is mainly a myth.  If a GM were to evaluate the humanness or beauty
of 1,000 random middlegame moves by each of the top engines (not being told
which engine played which move), I think it would turn out that each of them
plays about the same percentage of "pretty" moves and "ugly" moves.
