Loosing a young person in a small town is hard. Everyone feels the effects, everyone cries. It doesn't matter if you didn't know them at all you still feel the heart break of the town and its overwhelming. It's overwhelming to see your family suffer such a lose and your friends take such a blow to the heart. I wish you could have seen how much you were loved, and that life gets better. I wish you could understand the effect you had on everyones life. Your smile could light up a million rooms, and your laugh could make even the grumpiest smile. You knew exactly what to say to someone to make them smile and how to listen to someone to make them feel like you were really there for them. Thank you for being crazy, thank you for pulling your shenanigans in school, thank you for going all out for pep rallies and football games, thank you for protecting everyone of your friends when they needed it. You didn't realize it back then but you changed this town forever. People will be forever remembering you. They will be going down the streets saying "remember when" and " this is where". You will never be forgotten in this town. To the friends and family that lost this beautiful soul, I'm sorry for the heartbreak you are feeling, I'm sorry you know have to live in a world without them. I'm sorry you know have to try and figure out how to make it along without them. I'm sorry you have to look at certain spots in town and say "remember when" and "this is where". I'm sorry you know have to put up memorial pictures and write RIP next to every picture you post of them. I'm sorry you have to look at everyone's post about them while you are still trying to grasp what happened. This whole thing is overwhelming and I can't imagine what you are going through. The only thing we can do know is remember them, and love like they loved. Carrying on traditions they did on a daily basis to keep them alive. Remembering them every day though out the day. Looking at those places of "remember when" and "this is where" and smiling and laughing at those stories. To those beautiful souls who were lost, I hope you found the peace you were looking for, I hope you can rest peacefully for eternity, and I hope you are looking down at your loved ones, for this is the time they need you the most. Thank you for bringing light in to everyones eyes and heart. You will be forever missed by a town who could never forget. Rest peacefully beautiful angel.

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
