To the girl who doesn't like change but has been moving from house to house for the last few years. Now thinking about it being the new girl in town isn't so bad. New places to see,new faces to look at,new scenery to view and it all comes down to where you are at the moment in time. Someone once told me "where you start doesn't have to be where you end up." Being the new girl in town isn't so bad after all. It's like a fresh new start. Once you get used to moving so much it becomes natural and you don't expect anything less. The only difficult thing about moving is leaving what you love behind,for instance friends and memories. The tricky part of life is once you move on to the next chapter it's going to be difficult to keep friendships alive.It's definitely going to be hard at times but if you're truly loyal you'll find a way. Each move was different, Once there was a women and man and next thing you know it,it became a family of three that turned into a family of four.Like any other family hardships came into life and made it into a family of three again. When we move on from the past and meet new people sometimes they turn into family which made it turn into a household of 6.Finally, when we get older and this place doesn't feel like home anymore we search and search to figure out what does feel like home, which turned into a household of three once again.Different people different lives turning into one. Not a typical situation growing up like this. I did what I had to do. Being grown up and all is great until you miss the memories that once took place at a certain place with certain people but we all move on at some point right? Well for me it's at a younger age than most people. At one point I need to learn and I guess that's now. Like I said being the new girl in town isn't so bad after all. Advise to the new girl in town, if you're mad about the move, don't be, Trust me everything will fall into place when the time is right.Just enjoy the new experiences that life is giving you because one day you'll be grateful for it.Also you'll realize that you're actually happy and want to continue to seek new things and adventures on the way! Being the new girl is quite alright!

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
