I'm not saying it doesn't exist at all, I'm saying electronic music is significantly harder for AI to do than a conventional love ballad or a rock song.

AI can't do "robotic" math music, it's best at sappy generic emotive stuff. (I guess this isn't at all a surprise for those that know how the musical sausage is made.)

Why do you say that? I'd argue the opposite

Look at the majority of AI music and see for yourself.

AI does common-denominator stuff best, and common-denominator is heartfealt lyrics over some pentatonic chords. (Not Kraftwerk or whatever.)

This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmnfixpA9Cs is a quintessential AI song.

I'd love to see AI take a stab at a Meshuggah or Dillinger Escape Plan clone.

not exactly what you're aiming at with your comment but, sort of adjacent, maybe relevant:
