There is indeed a lot of "filler" type production and even the most talented creators are far from always producing unique pieces that touch audiences (let alone endure).
But this misses the point: some creators do occasionally hit the magic sweet spot and invent something that makes the rest worthwhile. Heck, some creators invent new genres.
A DL type algorithm will not produce a new "classic" except by a "thousand monkeys hitting keyboards" type accident... at least not until we dig far deeper into what makes some music stand-out. And an algorithm as conventionally defined is unlikely to ever produce a new musical style.
The true opportunity (as always with algorithms) is the augmentation of creative talent.
