- You don’t consume protein throughout the day. The average person does not consume enough protein throughout the day on their regular diet, an average man would need around 56 G of protein, while an average woman would need around 46 G of protein. Your standard protein supplement will give you around 24 grams of protein. Any more than that and your body is not actually digesting it.
- It tastes Great! Protein shakes taste great, and they come in a variety of flavors, from chocolate to vanilla, birthday cake to strawberries and cream, and even the seasonal pumpkin spice or peppermint flavors. The best thing to do is try all of them and see which one you like best and stick with it.
- Can be mixed with anything, You can add a scoop of protein to a lot of things, from smoothies to pancake mix, and it tastes amazing. There are many different recipes that you can cook up in minutes, by throwing it into a blender. Mix it with fruit, peanut butter, milk, vegetables, whatever you want pretty much, and it will taste great.
- Helps build muscle Without protein, your body would not be able to build or repair muscle after a workout. Protein is made out of amino acids, which are building blocks when it comes to muscle. In order to build muscle your muscles needs to be torn apart microscopically, which happens while working out, and in order to repair and become bigger it needs to be replenished by the right nutrition, which would be protein.
- Helps burn fat Protein will help increase your metabolism and will burn more calories throughout the day compared to if you don’t consume protein. Since protein helps to build muscle it will raise your metabolism and cause you to burn more calories throughout the day. Like, let's be honest, who doesn't want to have less fat?
- Meal Replacement Can be used as a meal replacement which can help lose weight and will keep you full throughout your day. Your average protein supplement per scoop will give you about 24 grams of protein and 120 calories with water. One of the best things to do is to add half a cup of oatmeal to your protein shake to help keep you full for even longer and give you the necessary energy to go on during the day.
- Many kinds of protein Allergic to milk? That is okay, there are various types of proteins, from whey and casein (milk proteins) to soy, plant, and even beef proteins. On top of that there are different types of protein for different goals you are looking for. You could get your standard whey protein which stays in your system about 2.5 hours. Or Casein that stays in your system for about 6 hours.

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
