I am a very loyal person. Once I develop an emotional attachment to someone, barely anything can drive us apart. No amount of fights, no hurtful comment, no amount of distance can make me want to leave.
This obviously has a loophole. If someone gives up on me, and doesn't wish for me to be in their life anymore, I will leave. I will walk out of their lives because that's what they want.
I've lost friends before, but it was never because I walked away. They gave up on me for some reason or another. Or... they were using me so they could gossip about my secrets--that I trusted them to keep.
It takes a lot for me to give up on someone. They could've broken my heart and I'll be right there when they need me. All of my friends know I am there for them 100%. They know I'm trustworthy. They know I'll always make time for them if they really need me. They know how much they mean to me and how much I love them. They know I appreciate them even if I don't always show it or say it.
Recently one of my friends expressed to me that they were nervous I was going to be disappointed in them and distance myself. Rarely am I disappointed in someone enough to let it effect my friendship. I understand people make mistakes and it's all part of growing up and learning.
For any of my friends who are reading this, please know I have your back. I am someone you can count on. I will always make sure you're okay no matter the circumstances. I'm not going anywhere. You're in my life because I want you in my life. You're not merely a pastime. I love you and I care about you.
I won't give up on you until you give up on me.
With this being said, I hope those who have given up on me realize that they're missing out on a true friend.
I hope they realize I would've been there for them through thick and thin. I hope they realize I would've continued fighting for our friendship if I felt that they were still fighting to keep me in their lives. I hope they realize genuine people like me do not come along often, and they shouldn't have taken advantage of that. I hope they look back and realize how good of a friend I was to them. I hope they realize I put my heart into our friendship just for them to walk away as if I was nothing. They distanced themselves until I couldn't even repair the damage. They made me feel worthless and unworthy of their friendship, but it's okay because I've made better friends now.
The world could use more genuine people, so...
Please do me a favor: Think about how you treat people, don't take a good friendship for granted and make sure your friends know how much you care and how you're not going anywhere.

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
