Computer generated improvisation?

So you've learned your licks, you've figured out what scales work on what chord, you've got your voice leading down.  How is it any different if a computer does the same?  Is a computer capable of playing soulful sounding improvisation?  Is it possible for a computer to react to jazz changes and improvise, given some fancy programming code? 

Below is a computer generated solo using George Garzone's Triadic Chromatic approach - you can look back a few posts and find more on the concept.  I've also used the band in a box program and heard some computer generated Joe Hendersen-esque soloing.  Honestly...it wasn't that bad.  I even stole a lick - shhh, it might be listening.  So listen to this...
