rhythm? feel? there is none!! it's pretty cool that robots can play instruments now, but it got no soul. once they make it play dynamics and articulation and stuff, THEN i will be truly impressed.

Robots won't ... ( 3 weeks ago by crodolpho)

Robots won't substitute musicians. Don't worry.
Robots need to be programmed, they don't learn, they don't improvise. A concert given by robots would never be like a human concert, but it would be interesting because it's different, impressive.

Yo! this robot has no rythym or soul I'll give it kudos for tryin but it doesn't sound as great as John Coltrane or any other human that can play this. Robots playin instruments is impressive but i suggest that they shouldn't perform in real concerts. I know real music this isn't music!

yea yea no soul...got it. the only problem with this comment is that no one knows what soul is. thats is, there is no real definition...you will always get a different explanation from people. Im not saying there is or there isnt one...im just saying that everyone is so sure that this robot doesnt have it, but nobody is really sure what IT is.

I'm pretty sure what he's getting at is that a robot can't feel, and really, if you can't do that you have no business being an artist.
