Robot-like playing

I've seen reviews where the critic said (I never said this) that the performer "played like a robot." I have to say that the performer below definitely plays like a robot.

Hey - maybe they can program these to dance Alegrias or something. Of course they might also be programmed so that if you miss a cue they do a Zapateado on your face.

Maybe someday they'll develop a robot that does something helpful instead of things that humans do much better.
Oh no...looks like they already got into politics...

Not a flamenco guitarist in the bunch.

Hey – I just thought of something. You know the way they have chess computers playing against Grandmasters – well, maybe if they come up with a flamenco guitarist robot we could have a "fastest picado" contest, and we put up Paco against the robot.
