    I agree with the other comment that it’s different in the case of Data, probably. He’s actually intelligent, unlike current “AI” that are just statistical models. They aren’t making conscious decisions about what they think would be best. They’re just doing the thing that fits the input the best (with some noise to not be as predictable).

    Data is actually examining a piece and thinking what style could compliment it. It isn’t just statistics, but an active conscious decision. He’s making considerations of why some styles could improve a piece, even though they may not have any statistical relation to each other.

    (This is all under the assumption Data is what he appears to be in the show.)
