The AI Drake “Ghostwriter” is back with a new song and is chasing a Grammy

Sep 06, 2023 - theverge.com
Ghostwriter, the anonymous creator of the viral AI-generated Drake song, has released a new track titled "Whiplash" featuring AI-generated voices of Travis Scott and 21 Savage. Ghostwriter has offered to direct royalties to the artists if they allow the song's release, raising questions about copyright and the legal implications of AI-generated music.

In addition, Ghostwriter is submitting the AI-generated Drake song, "Heart on My Sleeve," for a Grammy in two categories: best rap song and song of the year. The song is eligible for the awards as it was written by a human, but it still has to meet "general distribution" standards, which could be challenging due to potential copyright issues.

Key takeaways:

  • Ghostwriter, the anonymous creator known for AI-generated music, has released a new track featuring the AI voices of Travis Scott and 21 Savage, titled “Whiplash”.
  • The creator has previously raised copyright issues with the release of an AI-generated Drake song, “Heart on My Sleeve,” which was removed from streaming services due to legal implications.
  • Ghostwriter is also submitting “Heart on My Sleeve” for a Grammy in two categories: best rap song and song of the year, and it might be eligible as it was written by a human.
  • The song still has to meet “general distribution” standards that require availability in physical stores nationwide, online retailers, or streaming services, which might be a challenge due to copyright issues.
