Well it's not AI or ML really - it's hand-picked algorithmic composition with additional contributions from human composers.

The holy grail AI composer would be able to generate unique, creative, well-crafted material on demand. Almost every system that has existed thus far generates mostly nonsense, but the results are tweaked or hand-selected by humans. Those that don't hand-select are the ones that sound algorithmic and computer-generated to anyone with remote music ability. That's why the current state-of-the-art in on-demand music generation sounds like elevator music - and to a trained musician you can still tell there's something "off" about it (Jukedeck, etc.).
