Yeah, but it's on the xylophone, which is gay.

It was programmed - it didn't "learn" jack shite.

You don't know much about computer science.

Isn't that programming though?
Nothing designed an algorithm for me to learn to store and analyze music.

Biology designed your brain

I would imagine you would have to program the robot to recognize different scales of music, determine the key and similar octave and base a random playing of notes on the frequency of the bass line. Sure, you can program a robot to do that. I wouldn't call it learning.

Isn't that what a student does in music lessons?

That's what he said. Nothing designed his brain. Well, that's what BS evolution folks say anyway.

xylophones are awesome. I will fight you.

I don't like jazz. Whiplash is a great movie though.

I guess you could argue that it learned through programming in a way a student could be taught but it didn't learn by picking it up on its own.
I wasn't taught how to play multiple instruments, I figured it out.

Robots can have improv jazz

Yeah, it's not only possible, but it's also been done before. Commercial software like Band in a Box does it.

We do come pre-programmed, based on our DNA. But most of what we know about the world we had to learn using the algorithms we started with.
