I am 19 years old. Some call my lifestyle first-class, some say middle-class, either way just know I’m blessed to be living the way I am. Getting to know me, I can say, is a wonderful experience. I’m funny, out-going, chill and always up for an adventure. I’m not perfect (but who is?); I have my insecurities & flaws just like many others around me. I’m all about positivity and spreading good vibes because if you’re not thinking or showing positive actions then just what are you doing then? Just about anytime you see me, I always have a smile on my face or laughing for some odd reason. You rarely catch me with an “off” day unless something is truly bothering me. What a lot don’t know is that I have a secret—and by secret, I mean something I struggle with within and chose to only tell the right people who I know will genuinely care. I have come to understand over the years that depression is real and is nothing to make a burden out of. There are days, weeks, maybe even months I can be fine then one day, or for weeks, or for even months I hit rock bottom emotionally. At this point now I have come to so-called “get used to it” so when the time comes I just do my best to go about my day. You might call me a different breed or you might can say you know others exactly just like me. It’s strange at times because I’m so far-up as you might want to say as a regular or normal person, yet I’m also a not normal person. Most people who know me (not my friends) know me as “the weird girl who swears she’s woke” or the “artsy freak”, in reality though I take that as compliments. I’d rather be different from others then following what everyone else is doing. I’m adventurous, a risk-taker and I’m all down for the long ride. I know there’s people like me out in this world; some are my closest friends and some are people I have met and/or connected with through social media. Now we have a creative bond with one another which is one thing that has given me hope throughout my journey of growing up—that there are others out here just like me so I will never be alone. I have my thoughts and views about certain things just like everyone else. I feel as though whatever your opinion or views are that it is great. We all aren’t going to agree with every single thing or topic that comes across us, so if someone says something that you might not quite agree on, don’t get mad, think about this—with all the people in the world it’s going to be plenty of more people who have the same view as you. We are all people, we weren’t made to all be the same. We were made to individually be different so maybe we can learn new things from others and so they can maybe teach us new things. Teaching, learning, and listening will take you a long way. My name is RavenAlisé Turner. I am an artsy freak who is knowledgeable about the things that go on around me in this world that we live in and I am going to be one of the many people whose voice can be heard and be apart of the new era of change. With voice comes power and with power comes change for the better, if you make it to be so.

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
