Being the type of person who doesn't openly share my feelings isn't a bad thing, in my personal opinion. I think there is a time and a place and that privacy is a right that everyone has. I don't want to share my feelings just for others to feel sorry for me or to suddenly become my friend out of pity. The people who are here for me now are here for me because they have proved themselves time and time again, and I know that I can trust them and go to them if I really need to. I am just the type of person who likes to figure things out on my own and build upon myself as I go. Of course, I think that if you really need to talk to someone, counseling is an awesome outlet due to confidentiality and professionalism, but I don't, however, think it is appropriate to share your story with anyone and everyone. Only people who you have faith in deserve to know what you've gone through and have the capability to help you through the hard times. Only those who you truly know will be there are the ones who should know how you feel. As cynical as it sounds, not everyone is looking out for you and not everyone cares, and these are the people: the ones who only stay with you for a few months, the ones who use you, the ones who act like they care when they don't; these are the ones that don't deserve to hear what you're thinking and feeling. There is a beauty to privacy and mystery, and I want to remain this way because I think I deserve to guard my feelings if I want to, and if I want to figure things out on my own, then so be it. Everyone is different and everyone has different ways of dealing with issues, but this is mine and in the long run, it benefits me as a person, a friend and as a confidante. I take pride in who I am when people feel comfortable enough to share information with me, because I know I have gained their trust and there is a mutual understanding there. I will never be someone who openly shares my emotions with anyone and everyone and maybe, in a way, I need to work on that, but I have been able to realize that it is OK to show some weakness and that if need be, it is OK to let my emotions show, even if they may be negative ones. If you take away anything from this, I want you to know that it is OK to be human and that there is a healthy balance of sharing and keeping information. Once you feel comfortable enough in front of others, it is most definitely OK to discuss how you feel and it isn't always necessary to bottle up your emotions, because more often than not it leads to an unwanted explosion. Being the person that doesn't share openly isn't necessarily a bad thing or a good thing; it is a quirk and it is something that I have been able to improve upon and understand as time goes on. If you are like me, I just want you to know that it is OK to find a balance and that we all have feelings. You can still be mysterious and you can still be private while being comfortable enough to share how you feel with those you are closest to.

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
