Possibly because it doesn’t seem to add anything useful to the conversation. I haven’t actually read enough of the context here to know if that’s true in this case, but it seems likely.
If the question is what sort of algorithm enjoys music, it’s hard for me to understand how giving a non-trivial example of an algorithm that doesn’t enjoy music would fail to add something useful to the conversation.
Knowing that you’re an algorithm that doesn’t enjoy music isn’t very useful because we don’t know enough about you to actually infer anything from that—for all we know, you don’t enjoy music because you don’t have any conscious experience of sound, or because you can’t differentiate different musical tones.
Possibly. I did mention conscious experience rather than simple detection for a reason (I can technically detect light polarization, but don’t have enough conscious awareness of that to be able to notice, much less appreciate, art based on it), but I doubt that’s a useful thing to talk about.
How about enjoyment? Are you an algorithm that experiences enjoyment at all?
For a most of my life I thought I didn’t enjoy music. Then I realized that I just don’t like the music everyone listens to. The stuff that comes out of my radio is extremely unpleasant, but with much searching I have found some music that I do enjoy.
I don’t enjoy music.
Algorithms that enjoy music:
not paperclip maximizing (how do you do strikeout?)
human value maximizing
strikethrough
Two tildes:
paperclip maximizing
I think that everything here works.
Why am I voted down for voicing my non-enjoyment of music?

I can detect acoustic vibrations and measure their frequency components. Does that help?

My sensors are part of the system that generates my conscious experience.
I enjoy when the universe becomes more paperclippy.
