I don't understand why people are so cynical about this, it seems like a harmless demonstration of the current state of the technology.

If you were a professional musician your opinion might be different?

How so? It's pretty good, wait a few years and it will definitely be as good or better than human musicians. If you're talking as if it is a treat to musicians, they can only adapt and use such techs to push forward. All professions that require reasoning are endangered, not only music.

I am a musician and I like the technology (even wanted to do research on music generation in uni), but I still think the notion that music generation will surpass human capabilities in a few years is naive.

Surpass, likely not. Yet make the career no longer financially viable?
