GPT as ghostwriter at the White House
Recently several large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated their capability to generate a message in response to a user request. Such scientific breakthroughs promote new perspectives but also some fears. The main focus of this study is to analyze the written style of one LLM called ChatGPT 3.5 by comparing its generated messages with those of the recent US presidents. To achieve this objective, we compare the State of the Union addresses written by Reagan to Obama with those automatically produced by ChatGPT. We found that ChatGPT tends to overuse the lemma "we" as well as nouns and commas. On the other hand, the generated speeches employ less verbs and include, in mean, longer sentences. Even when imposing a given style to ChatGPT, the resulting speech remains distinct from messages written by the target author. Moreover, ChatGPT opts for a neutral tone with mainly positive emotional expressions and symbolic terms (e.g., freedom, nation). Finally, we show that the GPT's style exposes distinct features compared to real presidential addresses.

The Beatles' AI-assisted song's Grammy nomination could 'push the limit' on interest in the technology
Their final song was mixed with John Lennon's voice. The Beatles' return to the Grammys has come with an assist from artificial intelligence. "Now and Then" is nominated for record of the year and best rock performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, making it the first nominated song ever to use AI in its production. The song utilized AI to clean up old demo recordings of John Lennon singing and playing piano, recorded in the late 1970s, as well as a guitar track from George Harrison, recorded six years before his death in 2001. "To me, this is a cool example of how AI can function in our current environment," Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

GhostWriter: Augmenting Collaborative Human-AI Writing Experiences Through Personalization and Agency
Yeh, Catherine, Ramos, Gonzalo, Ng, Rachel, Huntington, Andy, Banks, Richard
Large language models (LLMs) are becoming more prevalent and have found a ubiquitous use in providing different forms of writing assistance. However, LLM-powered writing systems can frustrate users due to their limited personalization and control, which can be exacerbated when users lack experience with prompt engineering. We see design as one way to address these challenges and introduce GhostWriter, an AI-enhanced writing design probe where users can exercise enhanced agency and personalization. GhostWriter leverages LLMs to learn the user's intended writing style implicitly as they write, while allowing explicit teaching moments through manual style edits and annotations. We study 18 participants who use GhostWriter on two different writing tasks, observing that it helps users craft personalized text generations and empowers them by providing multiple ways to control the system's writing style. From this study, we present insights regarding people's relationship with AI-assisted writing and offer design recommendations for future work.

The Grammys will consider that viral song with Drake and The Weeknd AI vocals for awards after all
The person behind an AI-generated song that went viral earlier this year has submitted the track for Grammy Awards consideration. The Recording Academy has stated that such works aren't eligible for certain gongs. However, Ghostwriter, the pseudonymous person behind "Heart on My Sleeve," has submitted the track in the best rap song and song of the year categories, according to Variety. Both of those are songwriting honors. The Academy has suggested it's open to rewarding tracks that are mostly written by a human, even if the actual recording is largely AI-generated.

NCSoft's new AI suite is trained to streamline game production
Despite being publicly available for less than a year, generative AI technology can already be found all around us, helping us browse the internet, taking the drudgery out of computer coding, and even improving the dialog in popular video game franchises. On Wednesday, NCSoft, the South Korean game developer and publisher behind long-running MMORPG Guild Wars, announced that it has developed four new AI large language models, dubbed VARCO, to help streamline future game development. VARCO ("Via AI, Realize your Creativity and Originality," if you squint just right) is both the quartet of language models the company has developed, as well as all of the products and services the company plans to build atop them. Those potential products include, "digital humans, generative AI platforms, and conversational language models," per an NCSoft release. The four models are VARCO the base LLM, as well as Art, Text and Human.

Generative AI can help bring tomorrow's gaming NPCs to life
Elves and Argonians clipping through walls and stepping through tables, blacksmiths who won't acknowledge your existence until you take single step to the left, Draugers that drop into rag-doll seizures the moment you put an arrow through their eye -- Bethesda's Elder Scrolls long-running RPG series is beloved for many reasons, the realism of their non-playable characters (NPCs) is not among them. But the days of hearing the same rote quotes and watching the same half-hearted search patterns perpetually repeated from NPCs are quickly coming to an end. It's all thanks to the emergence of generative chatbots that are helping game developers craft more lifelike, realistic characters and in-game action. "Game AI is seldom about any deep intelligence but rather about the illusion of intelligence," Steve Rabin, Principal Software Engineer at Electronic Arts, wrote in the 2017 essay, The Illusion of Intelligence. "Often we are trying to create believable human behavior, but the actual intelligence that we are able to program is fairly constrained and painfully brittle."
The Drake AI Song Is Just the Tip of the Iceberg
The notion that Drake allegedly uses a ghostwriter to write his rhymes is a conspiracy that has haunted the rapper for years. He told Genius that he doesn't lean on ghostwriters, saying, "Any song that really, really did damage for me, I wrote every single lyric." The rumors were also the subject of his famous feud with rapper Meek Mill, spawning his pair of diss tracks, "Charged Up" and "Back to Back." But now, a more ominous presence has appeared on social media platforms to actually ghostwrite a Drake song--sort of. Last weekend a TikTok creator by the name of @ghostwriter977 uploaded a video in which they premiered an AI-generated "Drake" track titled "Heart on My Sleeve" with a faux-assist from a similarly AI-generated The Weeknd.

A new Drake x The Weeknd track just blew up -- but it's an AI fake
A song featuring the voices of Drake and The Weeknd called "Heart on My Sleeve" has amassed over 250,000 Spotify streams and 10 million views on TikTok. But the two renowned musicians had nothing to do with the song -- an artist going by the name "Ghostwriter" generated the song using AI. Drake and The Weeknd have not yet responded to the song, but Drake recently commented on AI-generated music that rips off his voice. When Drake noticed an AI model of himself singing "Munch" by Ice Spice, he wrote on his Instagram story, "This is the final straw AI." It's possible he was messing around, but he would be far from the first major artist to take issue with the rising count of deepfake songs. Ghostwriter and Spotify did not immediately respond to TechCrunch's requests for comment.
