I can see how AI might be able to write a 2-3 minute pop song and let it squeak into a top-40 playlist. A couple of minutes isn't much of aa challenger.

Can AI put together a symphony? Take Beethoven's 3rd for comparison - made up up for 4 movements, each about 20 minutes. Themes, sub-themes, subtle melodies, etc.

I don't think AI can do that today - but is symphony-level complexity in the future for AI?

Pre-AI experiments in algorithmic classical music generation by computers made symphonies something like… I want to say a decade ago. I can’t remember where I encountered them but I remember listening to a few after reading an article on the topic.

Were they good? I don’t think so, but it’s not the safe place you assume.
