Can't speak for the person, who brought topic up, but I can't detect AI music from any human music. That's to say music rules aren't that hard, you can learn a basic structure, a few popular scales and a write a completely soulless peace yourself. Google "Minor Scale", choose any note as a starter, and here you go. You can even add any popular drum pattern. Soulless music written by humans is dime a dozen. It's out there, people just choose to listen to a better music. Scratch human written, there are algorithms based on music theory that could generate light music endlessly.

But the completely original peaces, written by professionals, aiming to express a feeling, are easily distinguishable from any AI song. AI songs doesn't leave you hanging or waiting, it doesn't know the value of breaking a pattern.

It's Mozart vs Salieri all over again.
