This is because most music, like movies written these days, is formulaic. It's easy to reproduce something when they have proven that almost all music these days sounds a-like.
Sadly, since the beatles have come and gone, the one things successful bands discovered, is that there is a formula to songs, and all it takes to keep hitting the charts, is to not deviate.
Sadly, this means, there's no vast creativity in music, because in order to get played, you are required to be under a certain length, as well as stick to the formula, and now that Tik-Tok has entered the stage, I predict in the future, music will get even shorter and more formulaic to match attention spans.
This is why almost all movies (such as marvel) is derivative, never is conclusive story line, lacking creativity, and pure utter drivel, it's because hollywood destroyed the industry by refusing the fund anything unless it hits exactly to a formula they use commonly. The one time it backfired, is the time when Lincoln came out, as it didn't conform to it, and it was basically the public being tired. Now they've tweaked it, and we are back to this inane crap devoid of anything unique.
Music is highly susceptible to this, and with so many stations owned by only a handful of capitalistic-centered companies (like iHeart Radio), plan on seeing more drivel and crap come out that sounds alike, which would be the only way an A.I. Song would be able to chart, as they allowed it, since more royalty free music means less they pay out, while people have no choice except listen, since 85% of stations in the area are owned by the same company, and they sell ads without having to pay artists.
This has been heading this way for quite a while...
