Could you take another piece of my heart? Could you slam the door in my face? Can you watch my tears hit the floor? Do you feel guilty? Is it just that you can't be alone? Did you really ever love me? Is your behavior my fault? Is your behavior her fault? Does she know I exist? Is her heart in a million pieces trying to make sense of what you've done? Has she stopped crying like me? Is she lying in your arms tonight? Is she like me fighting back the urge to cope with bad habits? Does she try to pretend that part of her life never happened? Do you make her feel small for having made that mistake? Does she know you've made that mistake? Do you talk about those mistakes? Do you talk about our mistakes? Do you miss them? Do you know I only miss you at night? Is it hard for you to accept we don't love each other anymore? Have you accepted we can't be friends? Is the urge to lay next to me overpowering? Does it break your heart that we can do the falling asleep stuff but we can't do the waking up stuff? Will you ever forgive me? Will she ever forgive me? Will I ever forgive her? Can her and I be friends? Can we bond over the pain you've caused us? Can we talk about how we both love you? How that love grew from lies and literally, I mean, literally the same lies? Do you get a free pass to move on with your life? Will her and I forever be missed calls? Does she get the ring? Are you leaving me in the past? Am I the one leaving you in the past? Will our story ever not be complicated? Who made it complicated? Why can't we be sixteen again? Isn't it unfair we can't take back the heart ache and pain and love and just be friends again? Does it make me a bad person that I miss you but I'm not in love you? Why couldn't you just be friends? How can we transition from lovers to enemies to friends? Can we? Will we? Do you know I don't think we can? Do you feel a pain when you breath in knowing our time has really passed? Can you see me watching over you? Can you feel my prayers for you? Will you take care of yourself? Can you take me seriously for two seconds? Would you change the past if you could? Do you regret the pain you've caused? Does she know I regret the pain I've caused? Are we all confused, heartbroken teenagers with nothing and everything too lose? Is that too cliché? Is this simpler than that? Is there a chance you're the one complicating this all? Could I have moved on sooner if you let me go? Would you let her rebuild her life? Can you? Can you let me rebuild mine? Do you think I am responsible for you? Are there doubts in your mind of my strength? Are there doubts in your mind of her strength? Do you think you're the only one who struggles to be happy? Can you please grow up? Would you stop being so dramatic and put your big girl panties on? How about we make a deal, huh? How about you take a long walk off a short pier? And her and I will pick up the pieces you so gingerly shattered to perform the miracles you didn't think either of us were capable of.

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
