I like to think of mozart and the amount of music he listened to and was influenced by and compare it to what (I imagine) is used by these machines. Heck, you don't even instruct the machines on scales, rhythms or other sorts of fundamental musical aspects, you just tell the machines to make noise that sounds like what they've hoovered up. I'm still convinced that AI music proponents want to blur and obscure the differences between human composers and machine "composers" but I personally think the differences are pretty interesting and worthy of consideration.
