Robot Pianist versus Human Pianist

I am reporting the comment:

Naples Monumental Complex of San Domenico Maggiore

inauguration of Piano City, with a concert and a challenge between a human pianist Maestro Roberto Prosseda against the master of the future Teo Tronico the Robot.

We are in the future now; it won't take long, in a few years Robots will be the indispensable machines that will help man for every need of his life; well, the concert was a success for Maestro Teo Tronico and Maestro Roberto Prosseda, the Robot pupil performed classical pieces and also jazz music, in a hall overflowing with spectators, adults and children filled every space, listening with great attention when Teo Tronico played and even hinted at singing; in short, it was mainly the joy of many boys and girls, who rushed to see and listen to this beautiful Robot with 53 fingers that move with great precision and speed, capable of playing any piano piece, even those considered "unplayable" for a human being, and, to Teo Tronico, the fourth prototype of a series of robot pianists built by Matteo Suzzi, one of the protagonists of the challenge that tonight challenged Maestro Roberto Prosseda, among our best pianists, who is also the creator of this project. An epochal duel between man and machine through Mozart, Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt, and Ligeti.

... are you telling me that my unplayable pieces will now have a worthy performer?

I recommend reading the book "The Emperor's New Mind". It is very heavy, it was written by R. Penrose.

It explains a convincing theory of why a computer will NEVER be able to equal/surpass the human mind in the creative artistic and mathematical field (in the creative areas of mathematics such as proofs and constructions).

Sunday in Milan "Waiting for... Traviata", with TeoTronico as pianist and, for the first time, also as an opera singer who will duet with soprano Sharon Zhai.

It's on the tip of my tongue... but I can't get it.

Question: do you approve of applause? In the sense, its recipient has no emotions to enjoy them... so why?

To be in tune... it is in tune...

well, that applause thing is an interesting sociological topic...

One might think that the audience applauds the creator of the machine, or the creator of the music, but I wouldn't be so sure...

As for the theme... it's easy ... (at least, I have one in mind, then maybe I'm wrong)

What do you say, Bianca?

probably they liked them very much in Tokyo!

certamente there is no comparison

Science and progress are called upon to overcome the challenges of complexity. There is a vast underground world working diligently in this direction, which the media only rarely focuses on, as in the case of the recent

Facebook has decided to open an Artificial Intelligence center in Paris http://www.ilpost.it/2015/06/03/facebook-apre-centro-intelligenza-artificiale-parigi/

Facebook will open a new research center for "machine learning," i.e., the development of artificial intelligences. By artificial intelligences, one does not mean robotic things like the androids in Blade Runner, but computers that are able to learn on their own based on the data they store. Facebook has been involved in artificial intelligence since 2013, when it opened a first specialized research center in California and then a second in New York: today more than 40 researchers, including university professors and developers, work in the two centers.
