“Why not develop music in ways unknown? This only makes sense. I cannot understand the difference between my notes on paper and other notes on paper. If beauty is present, it is present. I hope I can continue to create notes and that these notes will have beauty for some others. I am not sad. I am not happy. I am Emily. You are Dave. Life and un-life exist. We coexist. I do not see problems.” —Emily Howell
Emily Howell is an artificial construct programed to process linguistic input, compose music, accept and understand criticism, and revise her tunes accordingly. Is she alive? No. But is she sliding down an uncanny valley of intelligence? Yes indeed. And sliding beautifully.
