Re: [OT] Vivi, the Virtual Violinist, plays LilyPond music

[Marc Mouries]

This is intellectually interesting but the question is not "who deserves to create good 
music?" but rather "who wants to listen to music made by someone that does not 
practice?" and who wants to listen to music played by a computer? Sure many times, nowadays, 
the rendition of a computer playing is quite good but who cares? Art conveys emotions which are the 
one thing that make us human and thus should be played by human. What's the end goal of such 
system? Can you describe in what is that helpful? Are we one day going to only listen to robots 
playing music?

Yes very good question. One thing that comes to mind is that I don't want to 
arrive at a point where musician will be teaching computers to play instead of 
learning to play themselves.
