What if you could upload a photo of your hand and the RL agent learns the optimal fingering for your hand?

My taste, my pianistict abilities, my arm, shoulder and body movements and my musical idea for the interpretation and imagination of the sound of the piece can not be seen in a photo of my hand. Not even a good teacher can give you a finished perfect fingering for you, I doubt that a dumb machine can do any better, especially if it plays that bad as the examples sound in comparison to a even beginner human. You have to find the fingering out for yourself and this is part of the great joy of playing / learning piano.

It's not quite that simple; everyone has different dexterity and innervation (how strong is the wiring between your pinky and ring finger?)

What if the AI gets to see you playing sample pieces or even if you have say a weighted keyboard that it gets to see the forces you can apply? I mean I've seen the Australian Sports Academy do all sorts of video and biomechanical instrumentation of elite athletes with the aim of improving their technique and provide a customised training regime. I can't see why it can't be used in music performance which in many ways is just as much athleticism as it is art.
