I was once asked the question: "If you could do anything to change the world, what would you do?" To be honest, I think I would change people's outlooks on their own lives. I truly believe that we have the ability to make this life whatever we want it to be regardless of the hands we are dealt. Personally, I think I have been through a lot of bad times, but it's always been my attitude that has made all the bad times better and life worth living. I recently lost my single mother to metastatic breast cancer after ten years of severe struggling. My brother and I have struggled in many aspects of our lives, but my brother and I have always found some way to pull through and find the best in every bad situation. I want to pass this on. I believe that everyone is in control of their own lives even though life may be chaotic, unpredictable, and difficult. We can still choose to smile at the small things EVERY day. Happiness is a choice but it must be a cautious one. We need to make an effort to be happy and grateful each and every day.
If I could do one thing to change the world it would be to show people to appreciate the life they live. Enjoy the little things that make them happy whether that be a song, a passing hello, or a talk with an old friend over coffee. We all have something good in or lives but in order to see and appreciate that we must focus our energy and attention on the good instead of the bad. Life is a crazy ride and I believe we are all lucky to take part in it.
If I could change one thing in the world it would be for people to genuinely, whole-heartedly be happy--happy with their good days and their bad days, their healthy days and their sick days. Life isn't always fair and sometimes it can bring you down a really dark path, but we have the ability to make a change in not only our own lives but the lives of others. Together we can change the stigma that a hard life is a bad life. I guess you could say that is the start of fulfilling my desire to change the world.

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
