Humans can mimic machines, too; look out, AutoTune - CDM Create Digital Music

As machines create more-perfect vocal and instrumental performances, a funny thing is happening: humans are catching up. The normal assumption about machine learning or "cyborg" technology is, as technology improves, we'll augment ourselves with more technology. But that misses the fact that humans, both individually and socially, are also smart and adaptable. We start to learn from the tech. I once met Stewart Copeland (The Police, composer), and he talked about this very phenomenon. A lot of the sound of The Police involved Stewart's playing routed through various effects.
