I had my beautiful baby girl when I was 18, I am a young mother. I do not call myself a "teen mom", because I'm not a teen mom I am a YOUNG mother! I know exactly what people are thinking as I walking by them while caring my baby, "man she is way to young to have a baby", or the best one yet "She is too young she doesn't know what to do with a baby". Mind you that I am the oldest grandchild and also have a little brother and worked at a daycare, I believe I may know just a little bit of what I am doing. Age does not define you as a mother! If you're 16-25 you will always be consider too young to have a baby. Does being younger than 25 make is harder to be a mom, yes you face a lot of challenge's especially if you are going to college. Even being 16 and finishing high school will make things a little rough, but that doesn't make them a bad mom. Being young means I get to spend more time with my baby and we get to grow together. Do I believe things would be easier if I hadn't of gotten pregnant well yes, but that doesn't mean that I can't do the things I had planned on doing with my life. I may be starting college a semester later than what I would of liked, but that doesn't mean I cant do it. Age does not define the ability to be a good mother. There are millions of women in this world who are mothers who probably really shouldn't be. AGE is not a factor in who is a good mother and who isn't. Taking care of your babies (no matter your age or where you are at in life) is what makes you a good mother! Putting your babies as you TOP PRIORITY makes you a good mom! People act like being a young mother is the worst thing out there, when in reality "young mothers" probably work harder for what they need or want more than any other person out there, and most of the time they aren't working for what they want or what they need, its for their child! They work hard for what their child wants or needs. So the next time you see a "young mother" remind yourself that just because she is young that doesn't make her a "bad mother." I may of had my baby girl at a young age, but that just means I get to love her longer. Young moms still work, they still go to school, and they are still trying to become who they want to be. Don't judge a mother by her age, because everything happens for a reason.

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
