When DJ's became a celebrated entertainment form, I regarded that as empty, strange and a low bar for talent. But some DJs became big stars that drew crowds.

The results are far from in with regard to what Rusty the Robot can get done.
If he can drive endorphins, dopamine, et al...then Rusty will be a spectacle and a star.
