Sometimes life is crazy, hectic, chaotic, and just plain overwhelming, and giving up seems like the only option. However, as Dory says in "Finding Nemo," when life becomes too much to bear all you have to do is "just keep swimming." I find this motto to be true in my own life, and I feel as though others should live by it as well.
No matter how bad things get, or how stressed out you may be, you just have to keep going and push through. We often feel as though we can't go on, but how many times have you thought that in the past? I know I've thought a million times that there's no possible way I can make it through a situation, but here I am, and somehow everything managed to work out. If you think about it, there is really no other option than to just keep swimming, just keep moving, even if you aren't sure what the hell you are doing or where you are going. As long as you keep moving everything is going to be okay and you will make it out of whatever mess you are in. Trust in the fact that everything will be okay, and if it's not okay, it's still not the end.
Whether we think we can do it or not, the sun is going to rise and set every day and life is going to go on. We are so much stronger than we think we are. As one of my favorite songs says, "If you're going through hell, keep on going." You really have no choice if you think about it, you wake up every morning with the choice to let your life take control of you, or to take control of your life. Don't just survive, live. Life is going to throw so much bullshit at you, and you have to pick your head up and just tell yourself to keep swimming. Swimming isn't easy, sometimes you have to go against the current and fight hard to stay afloat, but eventually you make it to shore and are stronger because of it.
Life can feel like you are drowning a lot. Sometimes I feel like I've been thrown into the ocean with rocks tied to my feet and everything is surrounding me and suffocating me to death. But somehow I always manage to find my way to the surface and can breathe again, and you can too. No matter how hectic or out of control things may seem, just choose to swim instead of sink.

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
