Heard a podcast about AI making new music styles

I was listening to a tech podcast on my drive home yesterday, and they were talking about this new AI tool from a group called 'Suno'. It can make whole songs from just a text prompt, but the wild part is they said it's starting to create completely new music styles that don't fit into old genres like rock or pop. The host played a clip that mixed folk instruments with electronic beats in a way I've never heard before. It made me think about how AI isn't just copying art anymore, it's starting to mix things in ways humans might not try. The idea that a machine could invent a new sound is pretty mind blowing. It feels like we're at the start of something big for creative work. Has anyone else heard about AI making new types of music or art that feels truly fresh?

Sounds cool but is it really a new style or just a weird mashup... feels like we've heard that before.

Right? When does something stop being a mashup and start being its own thing?
