Hello my human!
It's me, your pet!
I know you miss me human, but don't worry about me. I know you are sad because I went away from my home. But please don't be mad at me! I miss you a lot and I want to give you so many kisses. Once I left you, I ran across a bridge to my new home. I love it here! There are all of these different colors, meadows for me to run around, places to climb, and lots of other animals who are just like me!
I am never tired, and I have so much food and water. I even have my favorite treats that you always put on the top shelf. Guess what, Human? I can reach them now and I have endless supplies!
I'm sorry I was too tired and weak to play with you before I left. I wanted to run after that ball, and I wanted to watch the birds in the window. I really wanted to lay on my back and watched as you scratched my belly. Human, you always knew just the right spot to rub! I really loved hiding your socks and your toys the best. I miss doing that here.
Towards the end, I didn't like to snuggle much either because I didn't want you to realize I had been skipping my meals. I just was not hungry—not even bacon sounded good.
I used to have a hard time fitting in my bed, and now I was so tiny that I could do so with such ease. I kept sleeping because I hoped I would feel better once I woke up. I would have given anything to play together. Human, I especially loved when you would tug on my rope. You were always so good at that game.
I'm not sick anymore here. I like to run and jump and play with other pets who are like me. But the
best part of my new home is that it has all of my favorite memories
from my old home! I have my favorite toys here, my bed, and even
pictures of you! You gave me a good life at home. I never went hungry and I never wanted to run away (well, I know that I almost did one time, but that was because I smelled bacon! You know how much I love bacon).
Human, they tell me here that one day, I will get to see you again! When I see you I will lick your face and give you so many kisses! We can play together, and you can scratch my tummy with two hands! I always had so much fun with you. We can play together everyday when you come visit me. They have a nice tree up here where we can sit. It looks like our tree at home. I think you would like to sit there with me!
Until then, it is okay if you get another pet like me. I know you must be lonely, but don't worry about me getting mad. I had such a happy life with you and I want you to make some more pets very happy! They can even have all of my favorite toys. I have some toys up here with me, so they can keep my old ones!
Thank you for being such a good owner to me. I love you lots!
I will see you soon, human!

P.S. I hid your favorite socks under your bed.

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
