Halloween is meant to be a fun time for all the kids around the block, but that can also apply to adults around as well. For most people it is an amazing opportunity to get to walk around, as any character or whatever you wanted and get free candy, but for myself, it was never like that. Growing up all the neighbors on my block would jump for joy, due to Halloween finally making it’s way to us, but for myself it was the worst thing in the world. From the age of three on, I have had an enormous fear of clowns, and still to this day have never been to a circus. Unfortunately, as a kid seeing a bunch of teenagers dressed up as the “It” clown, wasn’t exactly my cup of tea. Not only did that play a large role on my dislike for Halloween, but the disrespect that elders and others get from kids. Everyone comprehends that kids can be jerks sometimes, but it’s a whole other issue when kids are egging the elderly’s homes, and or stealing buckets of candy. A word that defines these kids are, disrespectful, and selfish. How would one feel if their house was egged, or their grandmother’s house was egged? It’s not a nice act, and unfair for those trying to enjoy their Halloween. Another disliked aspect of Halloween is those who take the whole entire bowl of candy, so by the time you get to that persons home, you're left with nothing, but blisters on your feet. Looking for a costume was always fun, until everything you liked was either way too big, or way too small. Not only was the size the issue, but as a young girl starts to mature there’s other things like finding a non sexy costume, and so forth that can start some fires breaking lose.Another painful negative coming out of Halloween is having to hear the doorbell ring every two seconds, which can be tiresome for not just you but, our pet swell if you have one that is. So, as much is there is a lot of hate going towards this article, there is also the fact that you may meet other people your age trick or treating, and or make friends. Other things that are great about Trick or treating is getting a bunch of candy that you hadn't paid for, but watch out because it can be very toxic, so don't trust everyone. Another positive outcome of Halloween is getting to go to a bunch of parties, if it's a school party, a friends party, or your party, there is definitely at least one party you were invited to, which you may or may not be attending. Lastly, you get the option of having a blast as well, so maybe just ignore the negatives and make the best of Halloween. Have a Happy Halloween!!!

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
