two times I thought about writing to Jesus
sitting here just having thoughts about robots and music and their relationship. I wanna see a movie based on that. A documentary style film seriously accounting the ability of robots to make beautiful music. Computers do so much these days I figure why not be able to make original musical compositions. Something I believe is that in my lifetime two things will happen. The death of the internal combustion engine and the creation of artificial intelligence. These two things will mark the beginning of the next step in the path we humans are on, evolutionarily speaking. Most people don't think about this stuff, but some do. They are called quantum physicists or "wackos." Maybe someday they'll be quantum wackos. What a beautiful world that will be. Freeze me and thaw me out when that happens.

Hi Dave, this is Jessica. I'm internet-stalking you, apparently. I'm also an insomniac now. Well, I will be until I take myself to bed, which I really want to do because I am tired. I do not believe that robots can create. They can be programmed to put notes together rhythmically, but it will never be composing. You, of all people, should know how much spirit is necessary to produce art. Unless one can program spirit, a machine cannot express the type of ingenuity that humans do. They don't have creativity, so whatever they make will never be the same as that which humans create. I had to create a google account just to post this, so you know it's important.
