God, the sound of this boy’s voice is like coffee flavored ice cream. The smooth, decadent words melting out of his mouth. Even though it's frozen, you feel the past warmth and the heat that was there once before. Oh sweet coffee ice cream boy, little spoonfuls, taking each word little by little. He has this way of drawing you in, making your senses tingle and the hairs on your arm stand up. Cold on the outside, warm undertones, with just enough sweetness to keep you coming back for more. But in the end, he stops talking and your bowl of incredible coffee ice cream is empty. One is left with this feeling of energy, but also sadness because it is no longer. Eventually, I will hear another, but maybe never quite as delicious as you. I want more, but I don't want to spoil my appetite, maybe next time I will get a bigger bowl. His delicious words thick and rich, with character and strong flavor, oh sweet coffee ice cream, that boy.
Who knew words could make your mouth water? Saliva pulls under your tongue as you search for more people like him. You long for another spoonful even though he has stopped talking and the conversation has been long over for hours now. The craving still lies. The need for taste bud - teasing flavor never ceases. You aren’t even hungry, but this boy makes your mouth water, begging for just one more mouthful. There was nothing about this boy that stood out to me, other than the way he articulated every ounce of knowledge out of his mouth. Word choice selected so carefully, like ingredients churned together. The perfect combination of inspiration in his eyes, and inferred meaning. But how does the incredibly cold and ice personality, produce just amazing warmth with a caffeinated touch? Oh, sweet coffee ice cream boy. Your words will never be forgotten. The memory of your sweet-savory combination will spoil all other ice creams for much time to come. Maybe I have a problem. I admit that. I love coffee ice cream, I love the way it makes me feel. But maybe Coffee Ice Cream is just a feeling, a memory, a lost part of me. Sweet and cool, but also strong and warm. I'm not sure why, but there is something about coffee ice cream that draws me back to it every time. The positive background of coffee ice cream only reminds me of happy things. Maybe you're a happy person. But one thing I know is I love the way you speak. Maybe it's the memory of beautiful days with the ones I love, or maybe it's the familiarity. But until I hear your voice again, Coffee Ice Cream will just have to do.Recommended for you
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
