If you let an algorithm script a movie, it would be a 2-hr superhero movie with extremely simplistic moral conundrums, that will cost $300m to make, but will gross $1 billion +.

If the algo scripted a TV sitcom, it would be 5-6 mostly white people who occasionally hook up, break up, get married, struggle to conceive, and then everything eventually works out.

Same goes for music. People have a habit of liking what's in front of them. Few are going to want to make the effort to find something that's more than "good enough".
