I am turning 23 this Saturday, and most people will have one main query. "When are you going to get married?" "You are of marriageable age!" This is what I want to say.
It is true that I have never been in a relationship all my life. It is also true that I have never known how to be in a relationship with a guy, so in a way, my parents have all the rights to worry. And with the current situation that is happening in my family, they will be more worried, as they don't want me to be alone. I totally understand.
I am not the kind of girl who dates casually. I am not the kind of girl who will go after a guy just to have a boyfriend. I am also not the kind of girl who will change her personality and looks just for a guy. Because when I am in a relationship, I expect it to be serious. I want true love and not random flings. I want to always be the "sensitive, innocent, sensible with a big heart" girl, and I expect a guy to accept that, and it is not easy.
On top of that, I have always been the girl who has focused on her studies and career. Music has always been a part of my life, and that's what I have been doing and that's what I will do. I want to make my dreams come true. I have always given time to myself, and I have always felt that this is something I want to do on my own. I want to be someone before going for a serious commitment. To become a music therapist, I have to focus on myself. I don't want to lose an opportunity by getting married too soon, and to be honest, I am just not ready.
I also want my future-husband and future-in-laws to understand and accept my special needs. I also want them to understand my love and passion for music. I have a worry that if I get married early, I may not have an opportunity to do all the things I desire. I won't be happy if people don't accept me. Marriage is a lot of hard work. With the amount of hard work I am going to be doing for 2 years, it will add more stress and I am not ready for that yet.
I have never shared my life with someone. I have always been independent, made my own rules and focused on my studies and career. To go for a serious commitment, I need to become more willing and I am not in that level yet. It will take time, and that time is not now.
It is true that I am quite nervous thinking about all this, but the main truth is, I am only 23, and I have a lot to see and do in my life. I am not ready for a marriage yet. But then again, I am not saying I will never get married.
I believe in true love and destiny. I believe that one day, I will get a wonderful guy in my life, who will accept me for who I am. A guy who will always be there for me, no matter what. A guy who will support me. I also believe that I will be a wonderful mother to my kids. I do want to get married, and I will get married, not now, but when the right time comes. Life is unpredictable and we don't know what will happen next. Same way, I have left it to destiny, and if this is what destiny wants, I will do it.
But right now, all I want is support to complete my course and to have a wonderful career. Please help me fulfill my dreams. I hope you understand!
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
