Humans still have more perspective when creating music or other art. They can create and maintain themes on more levels, for now, but AIs that are multi-modal / multi-paradigm / whatever-you-want-to-call-it will close that gap, too.
A human can look at an art rendering of a humanoid character and immediately spot symmetry errors, missing fingers, strange limbs or joints, and the AI didn't know any better because it was imagining an artistic rendering from a prompt the same as any other art piece. It doesn't "think" of the physical accuracy of what it's drawing. You might be able to ask GPT-4 to rate the physical accuracy of a bad midjourney drawing and get an honest response, in which case AI already has the ability to do better, it's just not trained that way... yet.
In writing music, humans can conjure and enforce large-scale patterns in music. An AI would currently get lost writing a symphony. An AI might construct an interesting harmony, but it wouldn't dwell on and play with the harmony the way a human composer would. Yet.
I think there's enough demand for non-trivial music and non-trivial artistic representations of humans that these problems will be figured out soon. Whether that involves different training, different neural net architecture or a conglomerate of different sub-neural-nets, or multiple independent neural nets with some filtering others' output.
