We have that now. It's called mainstream pop music.

No reason the AI composing tools have to be limited to pop music. All the most "authentic" types of music could be assisted by AI just the same way. I would have thought it would be particularly useful for things like scoring film and TV.

Scoring is tricky because the music has to be synced to the action. Once you've done all that feature engineering, it's just a small bit of work for the composer to score it. The AI bit is mostly useful in extrapolating detail from the melody to a MIDI orchestra.
