"Is there any way to distinguish a sound file with intention from one without?"
There is a way of distinguishing a musician that plays "automatically" from a musician that plays with its heart. Every musician knows that the best performance is made when he/she is sincere.
Plus, you're talking about the "bits", that is the "form" but i'm talking about the content. You can have a machine spray some paint with some constrained rules on a canvas and reproduce the style of famous painters. But it will never have its own style, its own intention. No original and new message to communicate.
It's silly human bias. David Cope's program composed music which people claimed was great. As soon as they were told it was made by a computer they suddenly thought it was terrible. In a test between an actual composer and his algorithm, the audience thought the generated music was composed by a human.
It's true today's algorithms might not be completely original, but then again neither are most humans. And this isn't a strict limitation, computers could learn to experiment with new patterns, or generalize further than mere imitation.
