How?Veronica Quaife:It tastes um - synthetic.Seth Brundle: Mmm-hmm.Veronica Quaife: So, what have we proved?Seth Brundle:The computer is giving us its interpretation - of a steak. It's, uh translating it for us; it's rethinking it, rather than *reproducing* it, and something's getting lost in the translation.Veronica Quaife:Me. I'm lost.Seth Brundle:The flesh. It should make the computer, uh, crazy. Like those old ladies pinching babies. But it doesn't; not yet. I haven't taught the computer to be made crazy by the -Seth Brundle:flesh. The poetry of the steak. So, I'm gonna start teaching it now
