You keep arguing about validity but you're missing the point of how music is made. I'm not talking about 'only humans can be music because they alive', it's that music is fundamentally combinatorial, even if you're combining recordings of construction equipment to make industrial noise music.

If you're generating the entire thing at once rather than stems or note data, you just have an elevator music generator which inexorably tends toward the lowest common denominator.

"you just have an elevator music generator"

No one argued that one isn't of higher or lower quality. They're both music, as is evident by your choice of words. Processed foods are foods, not great for you, but they're still foods.
