Years ago a man made a computer program that could compose music. He kept getting told things like what you are saying. That it's soulless, that computers can never make real art, that it has no emotion, that it's just regurgitating patterns, etc.
Eventually an orchestra agreed to play one of the works. People liked it. Until they found it was composed by a computer, and then they hated it. People are insanely biased against computers.
That said, the algorithm was not a neural network. NNs do have problems producing music, they forget long term patterns quickly and so the works are easily distinguishable from human music. But it's possible this could be solved in the future with some new techniques at training NNs with longer term memory. I don't think it's long before the world is full of AI produced music. And you won't be able to tell.
