    1. The moog is “magic - works without amp or outlet” so it is magic. (Given.)

    2. Therefore the moog is AI, since magic and AI are indistinguishable. (Lemma: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” -Clarke. The exact workings of contemporary “AI” neural networks are insufficiently understood, therefore indistinguishable from magic.)

    3. Because the moog is AI, I can talk to it like ChatGPT, I just have the wrong keyboard.

    4. Use the keyboard like this: first key is “A”, second key is “B”, etc. Type out some sentences until the AI figures out the pattern. I have plenty of time to do so, since I have a time machine.

    5. Use the keyboard to chat with the moog to tell it what I want it to play.

    Problem?

      yes there’s a problem, its only magic is that is works without an amp or outlet. none of the other things you’ve listed are implied or remotely plausible.
