Let’s face it, everyone has that special person in life. Someone who isn’t a parents, grandparent or sibling – yet said person encourages you and believes in you in ways you could never believe in yourself. This person may be a lover or a friend. Maybe this person is a neighbor. Whoever this person is, one thing remains true – you love them. To my special person, this one is for you… Hey you: Look at us. Look how far we’ve come. Just think about how much further we still have to go together. I must admit, the path looks a lot brighter travelling it with you. In thinking back to the day we first met – the truth is, I never thought we could get so close. I’ve since told you many things about me that I refuse to tell others; such as my biggest fears and my secret dreams and ambitions. I've learned that no matter what these things are, they never get laughed at. It still baffles me that someone who isn’t family still finds me so fascinating-so interesting-and in my most raw state- so mesmerizing. When I’m having a bad day or my mood swings are more than usual, you never seem fazed – you just hang on for the ride. Is that easy for you? Or do you choose to do this for me? Do you choose to do this for me the same way you choose to text me a good morning text every single morning? I’m sure being the way you are is just your personality. Just like seeing the good in every situation and when there seems to be no good, recognizing this and finding some good in it. I find it hard to see the good in all situations and see the best in people the way you do – but slowly, I am learning. I am learning to accept myself for who I am. Sometimes I look in the mirror and only see flaws; but you’re changing this for me. I’m sorry that sometimes it’s so hard for me to see that not being perfect is just fine and it’s enough for you. You show me how to live life spontaneously when acceptable and I have to admit, running errands at 10:00 pm and being forced to go to Walmart because no other store is open just adds to the fun. You know what else I love? Late night scary movies at the theater or late night snacks on the couch while watching Impractical Jokers. Sometimes I wonder how we have so much fun just watching TV. I have always wondered when you would come around. I searched many corners and found some dead ends along the way and when I finally did find you – I didn’t know you were going to be “my person.” The person I’d tell my whole life story to in a matter of time because I always found it hard to open up to people. I didn’t know that night when we had dinner at the diner that you were going to mean so much to me some day. Did you? Or did coming to love me grow gradually inside of you? Did our relationship flourish like a beautiful rose? Growing each and every time we watered it and withstanding every storm that passed its way? Truth be told, I suppose it doesn’t really matter how we came to be, just that we did. It doesn’t matter how we met that day or whether the sky was a perfect shade of blue. All that matters is that you came around and you turned it all around. Every day we grow together and we learn more about each other as well as learn from each other. Please know if I had to do it all over again, and run into every dead end all over again…I would do it, because this chance to grow with you, is the greatest gift I could have ever received. I love you, My Person Love, Me. |

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
