If I asked you who I am to you what would you say? Would you list our relationship? Like sister, daughter, lover, friend.. Would you describe me by my physicality? Say I'm beautiful and tall and have cinnamon skin, full lips, and long ringlets curls that reach down to my hips.. Could you tell me the color of my aura or describe the outline of my soul? Can you even see it? Can you feel my energy flow? Can you see the swirls of pink and purple that dominate the color of my aura? Are you confident in what the colors mean, or do you kinda know, sorta? Have you ever been taught to look inside someone's eyes? How to peer through the windows and see what's inside? Can you see what I hide deep in my soul? If not.. Have you ever wanted to know? Who would you compare me too? Is it possible to do such a thing? I guess you could say I'm a combination of things in my being.. Would you describe me as an idea? Tell people I was the embodiment of love,from the man himself, high up above.. Would you say that I was so illuminated that it seemed at times I was surrounded by fire.. tell them how I left spots of my light wherever I went, and touched hearts with a passion that never seemed to tire... Would you say I was superhuman? That I knew things you've never said aloud, made you feel like I was truly sent by the man in the clouds.. Would you say I was weird or unusual? Some have said this, and yes it's very true..to most I am a weird one, and there's nothing I can do.. Do you find my weirdness bad or do I bring your weird out too? What is considered weirdness to you? What would your answer be.. if I asked the question..who am I to you? Would you say that I was limitless? And that there was nothing i couldn't do.. would you say i gave my all in everything i pursue? Would you say I was fearless? If I ever was afraid, you never really knew. That I hide it well, so you could never tell because I always helped you. Would you say I was queen of the animals? My nephew would say this, I can say that its true.. because they always did what I told them to do. And if you ever saw me around any animal you would probably desribe me this way too, Would you say I was the girl that lit up the room? That I seem mysterious yet transparent too.. Would you say that I am not one thing but 2? Am I more than that, am I too complex for you? Could you describe my duality if I asked you to? Does the question seem easy to you? Do you have to think or know right away, what you would really say? If I asked.. Who am I to you? The answer is different for everyone you see, i do not expect you to know everything, not very many have seen the depth of me.. Who am I to you? There is no wrong answer, I'm whoever you perceive me to be, you could say I'm the song, or even the dancer.. I am whatever you think I am regardless of someone else's view.. This is because I asked you NOT who I truly am, but who am I to you?

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
