The GPT-2 based Musenet music generator is already interesting but far from perfect. You can try it in the middle of this article:
https://openai.com/blog/musenet/
(you can even upload custom prompts in the advanced mode)
Would be interesting to see it with the updated GPT-3.
There is also AIVA with more production ready results:

Not sure how it works, but it has better results maybe because it's using more predefined components and less AI so it's also less "creative".

This should be testable
There have been music resembling Bach written before Bach (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUcdBz3LIuU). How much more of resemblance you hope for?

Obviously no.
But there’s so much classical music out there, that an average person would never be able to tell the difference between something that is generated anew and something just really obscure.
Have you ever tried copying and pasting sections of GPT output into Google?
This should be testable: train AI on all the music ever written before Bach, and see if it ever produces something ressembling Bach.
Maybe that kind of test has alretbeen done; it would be interesting to know what comes out of it.
