I think the problem with music is that there is no "objectively good" music composition. It remains entirely subjective and all criteria that are used to differentiate between "bad" and "good" albums are highly subjective. (Maybe something like "originality" might be measurable in some way but even there it gets tricky really fast) So music generation (similar to poetry) is imo a completely different problem space altogether.

I think the only difference is that instead of one win-lose metric, there are 7.7 billion individual good-bad metrics on music. For every individual doing the evaluation, I think it will certainly possible to train an AI to beat humans at getting "good" scores.
