Oddly, been mentioning this to students today - most of those I teach are completely unaware of such technology, or how it will impact them in the future. I think that in a few years time it'll be possible to generate a wide range of music at the touch of a button, and it'll be convincing. This is clearly pastiche, but I think that's the first step towards convincing compositions and then onwards to being original and interesting. I know there have been software methods to compose (and symphonies written by such), but I think the current AI/machine learning trend will allow the technology to move far faster than teaching it explicitly all the music and composition theory that you can.
