A word like "greatness" should be reserved for more ambitious and helpful pursuits, such as creating inventions or new social structures that improve the human condition.

Computers have not surpassed humans in terms of musical ability. Only someone tone-deaf, unable to let music into their heart, would say so.
(I have read articles saying that computers can now produce compositions indistinguishable from Mozart's, but the context of comparison is always on the level of silly, childlike little themes from very early Mozart pieces, more like extracts from nursery rhymes. And in terms of performance, there is nothing to rival our leading humans.)
Do you mean playing music? Or composing? Because it's hard to argue that Mozart was not great.
