What a ridiculous criterion.  One thing you or any type of human
generated music (sorry for equating you with music, I am just following
your sentence structure) will never replace is the simple gratification
of actually playing -- from my perspective.

So what?  Either I am interested in the listener's perspective, and of
course I can perfectly well develop that while listening to music
produced by arbitrary means, or in the player's perspective, and then I
have to play.

If my humanity status is different from that of the player, obviously I
am not playing myself.  If it is the same, it still does not in any way
replace my playing itself.
