It doesn't sound passable to me - it sounds boring, it's a hack around a text-parsing architecture ffs, trying to make it understand multi-dimensional and multi-timbral data... There are models that do better, and can "surprise and delight" you in different ways than a human would. Think about DeepDream and the whole experience of trying to spot all the weird doggie parts that the computer manages to sneak in those pictures - I don't think that a human could paint a DeepDream-dog picture nearly as effortlessly and perfectly as a computer can! I would definitely describe that as successful art, as far as it goes. But that doesn't mean that DeepDream "solves" visual art as a task!
