- The Two Piece Horse Costume:
The fact that you need two people to pull this one off, with one person being the rear, and very little room for oxygen... it’s time to just convert it to a one person costume. - Inflatables:
Even though it’s a cute idea, inflatable costumes have a higher risk of popping and causing the person wearing it great discomfort. - The Caitlyn Jenner:
This is a costume for men that is being used to make fun of Caitlyn Jenner. If you're trying to be funny for halloween, be more respectful and mindful of a person going through what Caitlyn is going through and go for something else. - The Pregnant School Girl:
Just… no. - This sexy Freddy Krueger:
I don't know about you, but the only sharp object I want near my chest is my bra underwire. - The Miley Cyrus 2013 VMA Award:
It’s become outdated since Miley hosted this years VMA's. - This Bunny in a Hat:
This, like the two piece horse and the inflatable costumes, looks complicated to get in and out of and must be annoying to walk around in. - This couple's costume:
Unless you're trying to say "your love is electric", I'd go with another couples outfit. - This “medieval” dress:
Do I really need to explain this? It's a brown dress with a gold belt. Nothing really screams medieval about it. I'd choose this as an outfit for work before I would think this as a Halloween costume. - The Avatar:
This was a great costume when James Cameron's Avatar first premiered in theaters. But seeing as how the sequel for the film is not gonna hit theaters for another year or two, I'd say store it away and bring it out when it becomes relevant again. - This dog costume.
The look on the dogs face says it all. "I'm embraced and uncomfortable. Please take this off."

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
