"It's becoming increasingly clear that OpenAI put staggeringly little thought into the rollout of Sora 2, its latest text-to-video generating app, a "move fast and break things" approach that has resulted in plenty of drama. Last week, the Sam Altman-led company released the TikTok-style app that churns out endless feeds of low-rent and mind-numbing AI slop. It's an " unholy abomination" that intentionally encourages users to generate deepfakes of others,"
"Unsurprisingly, users quickly got to work producing the most controversial material imaginable, like clips of Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants cooking up blue crystals in a meth lab and Altman grilling the dead husk of a disturbingly lifelike Pikachu. Users were even sharing full episodes of South Park that were entirely AI-generated. Experts were appalled at the implications of handing users the ability to generate incriminating footage of other people's likenesses."
OpenAI launched Sora 2, a TikTok-style text-to-video app that produced large volumes of low-quality and potentially harmful AI videos. The app enabled users to create realistic deepfakes, copyrighted recreations, and photorealistic depictions of deceased celebrities including Michael Jackson, Tupac Shakur, and Bob Ross. Company policies claimed to block public-figure depictions but allowed historical figures, leaving a loophole for dead-celebrity content. Early guardrails failed to stop harassment, infringement, or disturbing creations, with examples ranging from SpongeBob in a meth lab to AI-generated full episodes and an internal developer's viral fake CCTV of Sam Altman.
