However, I will challenge you on one point. We DO create something new. We create new experiences, perspectives, memories.

Feelings allow our creativity beyond preprogrammed patterns. In fact, our brain has a mechanism design to do just that; when you are tired it stops enforcing the logical contraints that it normally operates under and begins making new and unexpected connections.

> What's the difference?-Well, for starters, those robots will never deviate, never improvise, and will never get caught up in the emotion of the music and perform even better than they are typically be able to. Aside from that, they will also never develope a NEW style of music. -Music is not new. It is tuned frequencies of sound put together in a pleasing arrangement. That said, no one could question that Boogie Woogie was new, as a style, compared to all that came before it. No one could question that Jazz, Rock, Blues, Death Metal, Alternative, New Age, and even Classical music were all new. Music is not new. Sound is not new. But the arrangement and composition of the sounds, the tones and timbres used, the number of harmonies, the timing and rythms, these elements were put together in a new and original way to produce new and powerful emotional experiences. Robots can't do that. They can take a list of rules, and follow the rules.
