 I've seen demonstrations of what purport to be the cutting edge of AI scanning
and recognition software when applied to music and while it does a good job
with clearly legible handwritten notation of one-line melodies and simple
chords, the moment it's given a page of something like Jerry Goldsmith's score
for ALIEN, with both it's terrible penmanship and grainy/faded image quality
that's been copied and recopied a dozen times, the software has the equivalent
of a nervous breakdown and produces something out of a George Crumb fever

 So I think I'm safe from musical Skynet for now.

I suspect (though admittedly uncertainly) that it's much easier for AI to write music "in the style of" than to create "new and pleasing".
