Elon Musk’s xAI aims to launch first AI-generated game

Welcome back, Superhuman. Is ChatGPT about to turn into a social app and compete with Meta? A new video from OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap shows a messaging feature on the left bar in the ChatGPT app. You can pause and zoom in on the video at 1:24 here to see it for yourself.

Today: xAI targets AI-generated gaming, Copilot gets an upgrade, learn how to make animated slides with AI, and get the latest prompts and trending social posts.

TODAY IN AI

1. xAI reportedly sets sights on world models for gaming: Elon Musk's AI startup is reportedly entering the race to develop “world models” — systems that simulate real-world physics and environments by learning from videos and robotic data. The company has recruited Nvidia researchers to train the models, with early work aimed at AI-assisted game design. xAI will release a “great AI-generated game before the end of next year”, Musk said in a post on X.

2. Thinking Machines Lab co-founder reportedly heads to Meta: Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of AI startup Thinking Machines Lab alongside former OpenAI CTO Mira Murati, has reportedly left the company to join Meta. Tulloch reportedly turned down a compensation package worth $1.5B earlier this year.

3. Microsoft Copilot now works with Google and Office: Users can now use Copilot on Windows with Google Drive, Gmail, and Outlook, letting them search across multiple accounts with natural language queries. They can also create and export content directly into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or PDF with simple prompts.

4. OpenAI no longer needs to store user data, rules court: A federal court ruled on October 9 that OpenAI no longer has to preserve all ChatGPT conversations indefinitely. While the company is relieved from retaining future logs, existing records will stay accessible as evidence in the New York Times' copyright lawsuit.

FROM THE FRONTIER

AI can now anticipate human purchases better than humans, new study finds

Before you even click buy, AI already knows why. A study from PyMC Labs and Colgate-Palmolive shows that by letting models explain their reasoning, AI can predict user purchases with human-level accuracy, giving companies faster and smarter insights.

The method is called Semantic Similarity Rating (SSR). Rather than having an AI pick a number from 1 to 5 (a method that often leads to safe, middle-of-the-road answers), SSR lets AI explain its reasoning in words. For example, responses like “I’d probably buy it…. the price isn’t too bad.” are converted into a rating using semantic similarity. Tested across 57 personal care surveys with 9,300 consumers, SSR replicated human responses and product rankings with striking accuracy.

The benefits go beyond numbers. By providing detailed rationales and role-playing different consumer personas — age, income, and values; AI now better mirrors human decision-making, revealing not just what people choose but why. This nuanced understanding improves prediction across various groups.

Market research is getting an upgrade. SSR could slash the time and cost of research, letting companies iterate ideas in hours or minutes instead of weeks, capturing nuanced qualitative feedback previously too costly to obtain. This approach doesn’t just replicate numbers but seemingly preserves the depth of human judgment, blending statistical rigor with a new era of AI-enabled consumer intelligence.
