It's funny. As humans we spend a lot of time trying to do things like a machine. For instance play a musical piece from memory perfectly.

Whereas we also spend time trying to get our machines to do things like a human. Like get a machine to play a piece as expressively as a human

I agree with the second part (making machines play like humans). Playing a piece from memory isn't necessarily a machine like quality.

I chose the human version in all examples. What about you?
