If music is mathematical, then what isn't mathematical?

Well. What I mean is that people have used mathematics in order to create music for a long time. But you're correct that everything is mathematical in a sense.

People tend to like the same pieces of music, so there is obviously specific patterns that people generally like. AI is good at finding patterns so in the end AI will become good at creating music.

I think.

Nothing i guess. Ask anyone who knows music theory, there is a ton of math in music.
