Imagine the weight of the world on your shoulders, or at least that's what it feels like. School, maturing, friends, family, and unnecessary stress piles up, and you never get rid of it you just learn how juggle it all. Some people are better at juggling than others easily tossing up one of life's balls and catching another.
Now imagine all of that disappearing. No juggling, no worrying. The only thing that matters is what will happen next. You're in complete control of the future and it's right at your finger tips. That is what writing has done for me.
As a person with anxiety I am always in motion whether it be scratching my scalp, biting my cheeks, or tapping my foot I have to move. Then the thoughts hit.
Did I finish the homework? Was there more?
What if I look gross? My hair is a mess.
Oh my gosh they probably don't like me.
I have learned over the years that I can turn those unnecessary motions and thoughts into positive products through writing.
Writing can come in all forms. Many people make an emotion diary. They write down all their emotions from day to day occurrences that paint a bigger picture of what they're dealing with. Other people choose to write poems or short stories to express the pain or joy through them. Some even share and express themselves on blogs or online communities.
The important thing to realize is that it works. Your thoughts are distracted and put into a different form of energy which can not only benefit your anxiety but other aspects of your life as well. Papers, emails, and other important writings become easier to write instead of dreadful. Once you realize the the anxious feelings go away you become unstoppable.
Writing is one the most amazing talents I have discovered within myself. I am by no means the best writer out there but I work hard because I love it. It has taken stress and worries off my shoulders and has allowed me to live an easier and much happier life. Without it, I don't what would happen to me.

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
