One work of literature has stood the test of time for me. If one would have asked me years ago my love for this series, I would have thought them mad. In middle school, I introduced myself to this series when I went into the library and found the biggest book I could find. The purpose of finding this novel was just to get accelerated reading points. If you're not aware of what those points would be, it would be that as part of your literature course you've read books and then you took a test and that test points what do they raise your grade or on you or earn in the classroom. Well, in middle school, I wasn't the greatest reading student. I kinda goofed off there for a point and on my midterm I had a failing grade! This series had been in the news for being banned in some middle schools because of content. Some parents felt that it would corrupt their children because it dealt with witchcraft Wizardry and those parents thought that it was associated with the Devil. However, and all of my years of reading books and novels at the age of 22, I have not found another work of literature that has held such a great love for me. Even as an adult, the book series Harry Potter, holds such great value to me that everytime it comes on television or at least once a year I reread the entire series. For me Harry Potter has changed my life. It has opened so many thought processes and awakened so many outlooks on the world that I might not have had before. The book series holds so many deep meanings of friendship and loyalty and perseverance and going against the grain and going against what is deemed normal. Harry Potter teaches young kids that it's okay to stand up for what you believe it's right it's okay to stand up against and Harry Potter's case great evil and I feel like expecially today this book series needs to be red and needs to become a classic because so many situations that Harry Potter experiences while in a fictional world, can relate to our modern day Society. For some reading Harry Potter it's just a book. But for people like me it's so much more. Harry Potter continues to grow so many people for the first time even today and you're always looking back on the series and experiencing new things. It's not a series to be read once. It's a series to be read multiple times and experience new adventures every single time. As a 22 year old adult, but the child, this book is probably the most important things besides friends and family that I have and I will continue to love this series forever. So if you read this article, and experience Harry Potter love the same way I do I would love to engage in conversation with someone about this book. I continue to learn about myself society and so much more every time I read the series and I will be forever grateful for the author who wrote this Book.

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
