I was thinking that with all of the data out there. The computer should be able to compare, analyze millions of songs and recordings, to see what music would create a positive reaction.
Currently, do you think that Artificial Intelligence can create a top five hit song?

Yes. Some of the "artists" that rely heavily on auto tune are getting pretty close to AI already
yes- because "hits" are generally not very good music anyway
Just over the weekend, I was thinking about this book I read a few years ago. It’s ten years old, but it was fascinating. Might have to reread it.
The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory by John Seabrook

Seriously, Milli Vanilli were ahead of their time. I do get a kick out of some of the AI mashups. The There, I Ruined It channel on YouTube is hilarious.
Yes because people can be fooled. Great example above of milli vanilli. So in honor of that i say.

They're so bad, that everyone likes them. Everybody knows the good stuff is what no one likes.
I asked AI to make me the worst possible music ... it just directed me to all of @laKavosiey-st lion's jukebox contributions.

If Phil Collins can write top 5 hits I see no reason another inanimate object couldn’t do it.

With all due respect, "popular" and "quality" are not necessarily synonymous. They certainly could be, but there need not be a correlation. As an example, The Beatles are revered as musical pioneers who left their influence over the entire industry, which very well may be true. And yet there are ZERO individual Beatles songs that have the intricate harmonies and are of as high of a pure musical quality as Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" (and many other Pink Floyd songs), just as an example. Acknowledged in advance that this is an opinion.
Similarly, a movie that makes more money does not necessarily reflect that it was actually a better movie, especially considering the fact that ticket prices rise...using such criteria, Shawshank was an absolutely terrible movie...until it became an all-time classic by changing absolutely nothing.
Agree with the overall point, but with all due respect, this statement is not correct. There a numerous Beatles songs that are equally as harmonically intricate as Floyd songs (and I love Floyd). Shine on you crazy diamond is a great song, but most of the chord changes are fairly straight forward. In fact, at one point it uses a descending minor chord progression (Gm - Gm/maj7, G7....) that was used by the Beatles. One example is "Something" with does this with an Am chord. SOYCD diamond does use a D7#9 chord, but the Beatles also use this chord in a number of songs (in fact, the Beatles use an E7b9 chord in She Wants You which is extremely rare for a rock song).
Another example is Blackbird. It sounds like a simple song, but it uses multiple diminished chords - something you don't see often in rock music (can't think of any Floyd songs that use a diminished but I wouldn't be surprised if there is one or two).
If you substitute the Stones (and I love the Stones too) for the Beatles, I would definitely agree.
