Colour me dubious. Machines can't get drunk or stoned and improvise based on the "cosmic groove of the moment" they way a wasted humanoid can. Would Dock Ellis ever have pitched a no-hitter had he not been wired on acid? Would Keith Moon have been Keith Moon without similar "substantial" creative enhancement?
