"If the future of the internet looks like a constant stream of amusing videos generated by artificial intelligence, then OpenAI just placed its stake in an emerging market. The company behind ChatGPT released its new Sora social media app on Tuesday, an attempt to draw the attention of eyeballs currently staring at short-form videos on TikTok, YouTube or Meta-owned Instagram and Facebook."
"The app is available only on Apple devices for now, starting in the U.S. and Canada. Meta launched its own feed of AI short-form videos within its Meta AI app last week. In an Instagram post announcing the new Vibes product, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted a carousel of AI videos, including a cartoon version of himself, an army of fuzzy, beady-eyed beings jumping around and a kitten kneading a ball of dough."
OpenAI released Sora, an iPhone-only social media app that produces AI-generated short videos in styles from anime to photorealistic. The launch video features an AI-generated Sam Altman placed in surreal settings and colleagues appearing in outlandish scenarios. Sora and Meta's new Vibes feature both deliver highly personalized feeds, recommending videos based on engagement. The apps aim to capture attention currently focused on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram. Critics warn that an influx of realistic but implausible AI videos could crowd out authentic human creativity and degrade the information ecosystem by promoting compelling yet misleading content.
