This is intellectually interesting but the question is not "who

music made by someone that does not practice?" and who wants to listen

rendition of a computer playing is quite good but who cares? Art
conveys emotions which are the one thing that make us human and thus
should be played by human. What's the end goal of such system? Can you
describe in what is that helpful? Are we one day going to only listen
to robots playing music?
Where *will* the limits be, or where *should* the limits be?
Yes very good question. One thing that comes to mind is that I don't
want to arrive at a point where musician will be teaching computers to
play instead of learning to play themselves.
We're long past that point. Many many pop and rock and hip hop
keyboardists can't really play, i.e. if you asked them to play some
sheet music or reproduce a particular song, they couldn't do it, but
they can program loops and effects and assign them to keys and produce
some excellent music. Their instrument is the programming and their
creativity and imagination.
