We live in a world today where your here today, and you may be gone tomorrow. I never imagine growing up that the world would be a place that is in today. It saddens me that the world is full of evil and instead of us trying to change what is happening, we sit back and complain and judge. But what do we do if somebody is asking for help and we turned a blind eye and act like it never happened. I understand that some people don't know how to get, locate , or start to find assistance with some issue they may be dealing with; but we need to wake up and and realize that our world is crumbling in front of our eyes. For instance the shooting that just recently happened last week in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where 5 people lost their lives and 8 others were injured had previously went in for an evaluation and stated that he was hearing voices so they committed him for four days and released him after that and gave him back his weapons according to his brother. But from further information released he was discharged from the military 4 months ago because of his mental state. So who is responsible for this tragedy , the shooter or the people who didn't recognize that he wasn't work with a full deck of cards? We need better assistance for people who are in the military or government service that need to be accommodated back into civilian life. From personal experience I know some people who were in some sort of branch of the military and it was hard for them to get back into civilian or a normal life. And one thing that all my friends stated was they didn't have the necessary help after leaving the military. If they are protecting and serving us ,and protecting our freedom what are we doing to protect them when they have been discharge or misplaced because of tragedy that occurred when they were in the field as they call it. We have to many veterans and military officers that are left without help and when someone of their stature needs help we turn a blind-eyeThe question I want to posed in this article is who is the blame when a tragedy occurs from a mentally ill person ?

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
