Sora is blocking people from nabbing celebrity and public figure usernames
"there are obvious concerns that the platform could be used to generate deepfakes and otherwise misleading content. To combat this problem, the company says it adjusted its systems to prevent users from manipulating images of other people, including political leaders like Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, or Emmanuel Macron. If you try to generate an image of a public figure, the Sora app-which is still invitation-only-will generally tell you your prompt violates the platform's guidelines."
"The company appears to have blocked users from signing up with usernames that reference major political figures and other celebrities, including Trump, Katy Perry, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Kim Jong Un. While some account names are flagged as already taken, these usernames trigger a specific notice: "This username is not allowed." The company did not directly answer Fast Company' s questions about how it determines which public figure usernames should be blocked."
OpenAI launched Sora, a social media app that uses the Sora 2 model to generate fantastical videos. OpenAI adjusted systems to prevent users from manipulating images of other people, including political leaders such as Donald Trump, Kamala Harris, and Emmanuel Macron. Attempts to generate images of public figures generally trigger a guideline violation response in the invitation-only app. OpenAI also blocks certain usernames referencing major political figures and celebrities; some usernames are flagged as taken while others trigger a notice stating the username is not allowed. OpenAI declined to explain how it selects blocked public-figure usernames and offered limited detail about future plans or government use.
