But what happens when video games become so good that children would rather express their creativity in virtual worlds than in the real one? And what happens when AGI solves art? This seems to be a neglected area, but does music really need to be recorded? What if it were possible for a program to distinguish good music from bad, or equivalently, create good music? How could human artists compete with machines that can customize their work for each individual in real time? I guess that leaves sex, but I would not be surprised to see some technical innovation here as well. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=8eb45b07
