- I’m ready
- Tonight will be the night, I’m going to dance the night away
- Ok if there’s a line that means it’ll be really crowded and fun inside
- Right?
- Well there’s someone puking
- Seriously?
- It’s 10 pm, look at your life choices
- Why would someone be rude to the bouncer
- They are what’s keeping you from getting inside
- Ugh I’m bored
- Why are there people cutting me
- Does it look like I’m okay with this?
- The guy at the front of the line just conveniently has 35 friends.
- Seriously the next person that cuts me is going to get punched.
- Or I’ll loudly proclaim how annoyed I am that someone’s cutting me and actually do nothing.
- Probably that one.
- I’m basically at the front.
- I promise that’s me in my ID.
- So many people.
- Oh god it smells like BO and bad life decisions.
- But Beyoncé is playing.
- I'M READY TO PARTY.
- Wow, this DJ is incredible.
- PSA to every guy here, me dancing does not mean I want to dance with you.
- I want to dance with my friends.
- You inching closer to me is obvious and creepy.
- If I dance to the other side of the circle you should definitely walk away.
- Not towards me you buffoon.
- No I don’t want to dance with you.
- Hence why I moved across the circle.
- No I don’t owe you a dance.
- I owe you nothing.
- Leave me alone and let me dance to T-Swift in peace.
- Oh, thank god he’s gone.
- Why are there only ever creepy guys in clubs.
- Oh wait.
- Hold up.
- That guys hot.
- Are we making eye contact?
- The strobe lights are making it hard to tell.
- I’m gonna go with yes.
- I’m such a good dancer.
- I hope he notices.
- Wow I’m sweating.
- I must be burning like a million calories.
- Definitely the dinner I ate and my drink.
- I’m going to get another drink.
- Why is the bar so crowded?
- Gross.
- Do really hot guys ever actually buy you drinks or is that just a myth?
- Why are drinks so expensive?
- $10 for a vodka cranberry? No thanks.
- Yes I’ll just have some tap water.
- That’s free.
- Sweet.
- Nailed it.
- Back to the dance floor I go.
- How is it possible that there are more people here.
- The flashing lights in time with the bass is giving me a headache.
- Also I can’t see anything because of these stupid flashing lights.
- I’m just looking for my friends.
- Oh, thank god I found them.
- THIS IS MY JAM.
- You know what needs to happen right now?
- The sprinkler.
- Yup.
- It’s happening.
- I’m going for it.
- I’m having the most fun.
- Ow.
- That was my toe.
- Ow!
- That was my toe AGAIN.
- Well that person is on drugs most definitely.
- Oh, those people are making out.
- Oh god.
- I have to pee.
- I just have to shove through this mass of people real quick.
- Of course the women’s line is a million miles long.
- So many mirror selfies are happening right now.
- Wow, her shoes are fantastic.
- I'mma tell her that.
- Did we just become best friends?
- Probably.
- Ugh the floor is sticky, how is that possible?
- That girl is maybe puking but her friends seem to be taking her home.
- Good.
- Now where are my friends?
- Re-push through the mass of people.
- I’m so sweaty.
- Do you think the BO smell will rub off on me?
- I hope not.
- Oh thank god I found them.
- My feet hurt.
- How do I say I want to leave without being a party pooper?
- I’m just going to yawn.
- Someone else is yawning – same page!
- Yes. We’re going home.
- Bye club, see ya never.
- Except, probably see you next weekend.

The Illusion of Creativity
AI-generated music is often marketed as “artistic” or “educational.” But what does it really teach?
- That style can be replicated without understanding.
- That emotion can be simulated without feeling.
- That effort can be bypassed with a prompt.
For young creators, this sets a dangerous precedent. Why learn to play guitar when an algorithm can do it faster? Why study harmony when AI can generate chord progressions in seconds? The risk isn’t just laziness — it’s the loss of depth, discipline, and the tactile joy of creation.
I have listened to several AI-generated music covers. My initial reaction was one of considerable impressiveness, particularly regarding the reimagining of classic pop hits in diverse genres with novel arrangements. Here is one good example a-ha — Take On Me
However, after engaging with several such Ai generated song covers, a sense of emotional detachment emerged, attributable to the perceived absence of human artistry and genuine sentiment, resulting in a technically flawless yet ultimately soulless auditory experience.
Copyright in Crisis
What does the copyright law say about AI generated music, especially in field of music covers. Who is liable for copyright in this case, AI developers, people who used AI to generate music or people who published it on music platforms?
Recent lawsuits show that the music industry is pushing back hard:
- Universal, Sony, and Warner sued AI music platforms Suno and Udio in 2024 for allegedly training their models on copyrighted songs without permission Ars Technica The Lyon Firm.
- They’re seeking up to $150,000 per infringed song, arguing that the AI outputs resemble famous tracks and voices (e.g., Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson).
- These lawsuits target the developers of the AI tools — but they raise broader questions:The legal gray area is training data. Courts haven’t yet ruled definitively on whether using copyrighted songs to train AI counts as infringement or fair use Sites at USC.
But who’s liable?
Role | Legal Risk | Why |
AI Developers | ✅ High | For training on copyrighted material without licenses. |
Users | ⚠️ Moderate | If they intentionally recreate protected works. |
Publishers/Platforms | ✅ High | For distributing infringing content. |
The grey area lies in training data. Courts haven’t yet ruled definitively on whether using copyrighted songs to train AI counts as infringement or fair use. Meanwhile, AI-generated works themselves aren’t eligible for copyright unless a human provides substantial creative input — leaving them in legal limbo.
The Educational Mirage
Some argue that AI music helps people learn genres, production styles, or vocal techniques. But this “education” often lacks context. It’s like learning to paint by watching a printer — technically impressive, but creatively hollow.
True musical education involves:
- Struggle and iteration: Learning through mistakes.
- Emotional connection: Expressing what words can’t.
- Cultural lineage: Understanding the roots of sound.
AI shortcuts bypass all of this. And in doing so, they risk flattening the rich terrain of human creativity into a sterile landscape of algorithmic mimicry.
Why This Fight Matters
This isn’t just about music. It’s about the future of art, storytelling, and human expression. If we allow machines to dominate creative spaces, we risk turning culture into content — optimized, monetized, and devoid of soul.
We must ask: Do we want a world where art is made by machines, or one where machines help humans make better art?
5 Key Takeaways
- AI-generated music blurs the line between innovation and erosion in the creative arts
- AI-generated music raises questions about copyright, culture, education, and artistic expression
- AI-generated music can replicate style without understanding, simulate emotion without feeling, and bypass effort with a prompt
- AI-generated music sets a dangerous precedent for young creators by potentially leading to a loss of depth, discipline, and joy of creation
