The most interesting thing in this, to me, is just how differently people perceive and enjoy music. I find that the algorithms work pretty well for me. But novelty in melody or rhythm are not something I care about (I literally can not remember an instance of even thinking about how a melody in a new song might go, let alone predicting it). The kind of “newness” that the algorithms provide work exactly right for how I enjoy music. But it makes a ton of sense that if you are more driven by finding new melodies, they would not work well for you.
