Dad, you have been there for me through thick and thin. You’ve seen me at my worst and at my best, but no matter what you have been by my side through it all. You’ve supported me through every decision (even if it was stupid) and cheered me on all the way. During basketball season I could always count on you to be there, sitting in stands, almost having a heart attack because you were just as nervous as I was. After the game, we’d talk about how much we dislike the other team, what I need to work on and what my team needs to work on. You helped me to better understand the game and to really love it. I always appreciated you screaming at the top of your lungs at the game. Mom would get embarrassed but I always appreciated the yelling. To me, it meant that you were there and that’s all that mattered. You’ve never missed a game during my basketball career which started since I could walk and I am grateful for that. Some of the best memories I have of us are the ones where we are either in the driveway or the gym shooting. You’ve taught me many skills that I still use today even if they aren’t on the basketball court. For example, discipline is one that you’ve instilled in me. I would have to do everything at 110 percent whether it was basketball or homework. All of my skills would have to be used to their fullest. You taught me that and I hope one day I can teach my kids that as well. Now, I know my basketball career didn’t end the way you wanted it to, but I’m truly grateful that you supported me through it all. It was hard on both of us, but it was for the best. After basketball was over, you were there to support me through my school. You encouraged me on my college decisions and I couldn’t be more grateful for that. All of your support and most importantly love has made me want to marry a man just like you. You have set a basis for what I want for in a husband. I pray every day that God brings me a man just like you and nothing less. You work hard to support us and I couldn’t be more grateful. I’m thankful that you have been there for me through it all. You’re truly the most important man in my life. Whether I show it or not, I appreciate everything you do for me. You’ve always been my #1 fan no matter and I love you for it. Thank you dad, I love you more than you ever know.

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
