"One year, we redefined what is possible with moving images,"
"It's somehow like watching a dead person dance, very unsettling. Like the beginning of a nightmare, where you haven't seen the monster yet, but you already know something is very wrong."
"I hate everything about this. Unsettling, empty, soulless filth."
OpenAI unveiled Sora 2, a text-to-video and audio AI generator. The promotional clip used an algorithmically synthesized version of CEO Sam Altman. The synthetic Altman exhibited a robotic voice and lifeless, unblinking stare, failing to clear the uncanny valley. The rest of the promo contained surreal AI-generated scenes, including jockeys riding unicorns and a stadium-lit Altman at an event with humans on oversized ducks. Social-media users widely criticized the footage as soulless, unsettling, and unconvincing. Critics argued that prompting is not creativity. OpenAI asserts Sora 2 offers advanced world-simulation capabilities for model training.
