I think there is value to asking the organist about how an organ works. The organist has practical context that an AI system can't possibly have about the situation you're both in:
* Maybe this particular organ has a modern valve-control system that wouldn't have existed for prior generations
* Maybe there are interesting timbral characteristics in the church that inform the way he'll perform the piece
* Maybe the organist would point to a specific low bass note in the subsequent piece which is emitted from the largest of the pipes, which he'd then point to
I think it's going to be hard for AI to reach a human level of 'context in the current moment', just due to physical data collection constraints. Maybe the AI can read your google calendar and tell what church you are in, and scrape the web for who is performing, and it can understand the user well enough to tailor its answers to the user. But I think it'll be at a pretty large information deficit until Boston Dynamics rolls out a robot capable of a) playing a demanding organ piece and b) chit-chat.
Many good points: Agreed! Much richer knowledge exchange possible with human organ expert. Thanks for sharing.
And in the process, of talking Re: organ mechanics, the two of us would get to know each other better and start forging a connection, that might lead to friendship. So, there's relational content too.
Very thought-provoking.
