You must buy and endure the CDs that your CD player WANTS to play.

"What an ass."

No, that’s NOT what he said. Your computer is simply a computer. When there is a thinking-logic behind decisions a machine can make, and then carry out those things based solely on it’s own ability to think through a situation - without ANY input from humans, then it becomes “intelligent” in a way.

That’s all he is saying.
