bot applications

[infobot]

Anyone ever try playing music with a bot ? I don't expect miracles at this stage in AI but I think it might be fun. Even if the bot just inputs the music a user plays and churns out random paterns or generic simply structured patterns. Like visualizations in media players, only with sound ; or a spectrum analyler on steroids sort of. I'll try but I'm no programmer, yet. Someday.

It has been done and can be implemented quite easily. Somewhere at home I have some old programs written in basic that do the job.

AI have done all sorts of things: generated music, written books, created art. Check out the AI artist, AARON http://www.kurzweilcyberart.com/index.html

Thanks for the info. I thought it could be set up quite easily, but without being able to program, I wasn't able to do so myself, although I have tried a couple of simple things. Also the AARON/cyberart site is most interesting.
   Someday games links for bots. Although I still want to develop a "thinkpad" or "projectpad" interface for bots. One that can also plug in text reference files. Like different textbooks for different design ideas or hobbies.
Much thanks
