I worked out a mechanism for this to happen. http://www.terasemjournals.org/GN0202/henson.html This is part of an unfinished longer story that describes a world carefully maintained by AIs that were designed from motivation up to *like* taking care of human works--especially historical ones. It isn't a very good story in the usual sense of such things, but if some of you want to read the chapters in draft that kind of drift through a post singularity world, ask for it.
