The AI seems to understand 4/4 time but doesn't understand groupings of 4 measures into phrases. It definitely doesn't understand ABABACA or even the basic parts of a song.

It is the musical equivalent of a meandering paragraph.

Absolutely. And all AI for music I have seen suffers that problem.

It makes me wonder whether the music generation should be stratified -- a coarse model lays out where parts like verse and chorus are, what distinguishes them, how to transition, etc., and then a finer-grained model fills in the details.
