People have significantly lower standards when it comes to painting compared to music. Music is ubiquitous in our culture whereas appreciation for visual arts is much less common, so people notice generic music much more than they notice generic art. This is true even when no machines are involved. Music of the same standard as your average fan art on the internet is nothing anyone would listen to. Even average consumers are simply more discerning when it comes to music. Almost everyone you can ask on the street has a favorite musician and can tell you a few things about different genres, how many people have a favorite painter and can tell you something about art? It's just a cultural thing.
