Nothing new there. It is well established that music can be created by
AI. What is lacking is the human nuance.

I doubt that AI will ever produce a Bach, Beethoven or Monteverdi.

there's no requirement that it should.

there are many more composers in this world than just those three.

Well, maybe it will, but it will be a long time.

where 'a long time' is 'now':

to-bach-then-writes-its-own-music-in-the-same-style/
These guys have developed a neural network that has learned to
produce choral cantatas in the style of Bach. They call their machine
DeepBach (see also ³AI Songsmith Cranks Out Surprisingly Catchy
Tunes²).
....
To find out, the team asked more than 1,600 people to listen two
different harmonies of the same melody. More than 400 of them were
professional musicians or music students.
....
When given a DeepBach-generated harmony, around half the voters
judged that it was composed by Bach. That¹s significantly higher than
with music generated by any other algorithm. ³We consider this to be
a good score knowing the complexity of Bach¹s compositions,² say
Hadjeres and Pachet.

Even when confronted with music composed by Bach himself,
participants only judged that correctly 75 percent of the time.

and that's just one example.
