even then, i would not.
i'm not interested in the emotions and wisdom of computers, since
currently they have none.
even though i may someday not be able any more to distinguish
artificial jazz from human jazz, i know i'd be very disappointed to
find out i have been listening to a machine, which would pretty much
spoil the concert for me :)
not that i'm not fond of cool gadgets, but seeing a dual athlon do
some wild rendering in real time triggers a completely different
kind of "wow, cool" event in me than does a miles davis solo.
