Life, we question it everyday, all the time. We are all existing until we experience life. And we are all living for existence...Until we are living for ourselves, we will never truly know the meaning of life and our own existence. To know the true meaning of life, we must experience it. Now-a-days, it is hard to just live our lives. Society now tells us to settle down by twenty-five with kids, and a mortgage, work, then retire and die. With that type of life, we are not truly living. We are not meant, as humans just to work until we die and have nothing to show for it. If all we are doing is existing with nothing to show for it, then we might as well live our lives the way we want to. Travel the state you live in, then move on to something better to see and experience in your life. LIVE YOUR LIFE! I have come across so many people who are completely content with where they are in life in their twenties. I say, those people are afraid of life itself. Life has so many great opportunities for us that we just pass up and miss because we are afraid of a change and afraid of life. We are afraid of life and experiences because now, we have the newspaper and the television and internet telling us what and who we should be afraid of. All of those things are telling us to be afraid to just be human. We all make mistakes, but now, we have technology that "sends out" the hatred and fear to install in us and to make us afraid and feel bad for our mistakes. We fear our lives based off of what other people tell us to fear because they probably fear it themselves. We shouldn't have to fear for our lives because "society" tells us to fear it. We should be living our lives the way we want to. Those people who are content being stuck where they are and regretting everything they didn't do on their death beds, they can go ahead and do so. I, however, will not let anyone tell me how to live my life. Since, we will ALL have nothing to show for it in the end, I will live my life to its fullest...

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
