As a musician, I can tell you that I can instantly hear a chord progression in any song and find loads of prior art.

But we’re really talking about style. Think reggae, isn’t it immediately obvious what style of music you’re listening to?

Indeed, but and to me it seems there are "fewer" styles currently in music than in visual arts. (Even though I spend a lot more time listening to music than looking at visual art, even including movies/series.)

Of course this is a super bad n=1 qualitative study with very bad response coding, but maybe this is simply because I haven't spent enough time with musical style copying LLMs (if there are any), and only spent about a minute listening to that forever death metal youtube AI channel.
