There are so many things I wish I could say to you. There are so many questions in my head that I wish I could ask, but honestly don't want to know the answers to. I wonder how you can still smile at me knowing that I'm hurting inside because of you. I wonder how you can act as if everything is fine when you know it's not. I don't know if I should blame you for making me fall for you, or blame myself for not protecting my heart. Regardless, it happened, and I'm dealing with it but everyday is different. There are days where I want to hug you and tell you I miss you, and then there are days I wish I could block you from my phone- but I don't have the strength to do either of those things. Reality is, I don't hate you. I just hate that I kind of love you.
I don't know what I hate more though: the fact that I want to talk to you, or the fact that I don't. It's as if my mind is in a constant battle with itself. The devil is telling me to let you in, but the angel is telling me to walk away. Some days I wake up confident that I'm going to forget about you, but that changes as soon as your name pops up on my phone. I tell myself that I'm strong enough to walk away, but I also tell myself that I don't want to. I hate that you make me feel this way, and myself for allowing it.
I hate that you have this control over me- almost as if you know my every move. It's almost like you know when I'm ready to move on, and that's when you pull me back in. Every time I take a step forward, you make me take three back. It always comes back to you, no matter what. You hurt me, and I forgive you over and over again, and I hate it.
I hate that you don't see what you do to me, and I hate that it's because I'm scared to let you. I hate that I'm scared to tell you how I feel because you'll walk way, even though I know that is what's best for me. I hide my feelings often to spare yours, and I lie to you when you ask me what's wrong because I don't know how to tell you how I feel. When you're not around, it's much easier to think. But when you're right in front of me, it all fades away like it was never there to begin with. I hate that, so much.
I hate that you make me laugh, and I hate that you make me cry. But I hate it even more that you probably don't even know I've cried. I hate that I fake a smile and pretend everything is okay when it's not, but I do it for you. In fact I do so much for you, but you don't notice. You don't notice because I'm a second prioroity, and I hate that I'm somehow okay with that.
I hate that you're going to read this, and I hate that it's not going to change a thing. Because despite my efforts, I'll never be able to have you how I want you. I really hate that I have to write about you to make myself feel better, and I hate that it works. I hate that it took me saying all of this to realize that I finally figured out what I want to do, and I hate that I have to do it.
I hate that I have to walk away. I hate that it's so unfair what you did, but I hate that I'm not mad at you for it, either. I hate that you know how you feel about me, but you do nothing about it. I hate that you make me so happy and I hate that I have to let that go. I hate that I'm going to miss you and I hate that I have too. But more than anything, I hate that I don't hate you. I hate that I don't "kinda" love you. I hate that I love you, and I hate that you don't know that.

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
