In the past few years relationships have taken a turn. The once traditional relationship has become more relevant to the times and things have changed. Couples now move from phase to phase and others skip the once concrete relationship steps. Another type of relationship that has become more popular is long distance relationships. With people's busy schedules and lives less and less do you see both partners actually living in the same area. Between work opportunities and school this is becoming more and more common. Just because relationships are changing doesn't mean people's prospective are. Many times when you announce your in a long distance relationship you'll get a few surprised looks and maybe some questions. Why does our society continue to put negative connotations on long distance relationships? The media and often personal accounts of long distance relationships are negative, but that isn't always the case. Long distance relationships are all about working together just like any other relationship. Just because you see someone is in a long distance relationship does not mean you should just assume future failure. Just like another person who might have took the more traditional route there is still a chance where things might not work out. We shouldn't discourage anyone's relationship just because of a distance of a few miles or maybe even 100 miles. I have been in a long distance relationship for almost a year and I always hear something negative about being long distance. What doesn't help the age old tale about long distance relationships failing is when you continue to put down someone for their relationship status. This helps couples feel like they can't do it. If you constantly put a couple down or make them feel that way, eventually their relationship will go down. When you meet someone in a long distance relationship why not give them some encouragement and congratulate them on making it that far. Why can't other people be happy for each other? In a world full of people saying you can't last it would be nice to meet a few people that say you can. Being long distance is hard, but you gain so much and grow as a person.The goodbyes are hard, but the hellos are sweeter every time. The best part is that every time you meet you will have the best of times and every conversation will last for hours. So, why not change your perspective on long distance relationships? Let's try to change people's perspectives on long distance relationships. You never know, your next relationship just might be one. What is there to lose? Long distance relationships aren't a bad thing and i'm so glad to be in one.

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
