"In one snippet, a couple cheers for joy as a baby-blue mushroom cloud balloons into the heavens, before cutting to a happy pair celebrating as the Hindenburg airship disintegrates in a plume of pink fiery smoke. Even worse, a brief second before the clip ends, we get a shot of the Twin Towers going up in a plume of blue ash, though the full Sora clip was cut off by whoever uploaded the compilation."
"Other reels abound, like one showing a smiling couple celebrate as a bomber releases a nuclear warhead over a city, or another which depicts a newborn baby falling out a balloon and scrambling away. In real life, the ritualized pregnancy celebrations have ended in plane crashes, shaken neighborhoods with explosive shockwaves, and caused wildfires that have taken the lives of first responders (and none of that is to mention their role in reinforcing harmful stereotypes.)"
Lifelike AI-generated gender reveal videos created with OpenAI's Sora 2 depict simulated catastrophic imagery, including mushroom clouds, the Hindenburg, the Twin Towers, and nuclear strikes. These reels show couples celebrating amid war, disasters, and offensive scenarios that trivialize real-world tragedies. Real-world gender reveals have caused plane crashes, explosive shockwaves, wildfires, and fatalities among first responders. AI-driven equivalents do not cause immediate physical harm but contribute to platform toxicity and the normalization of violent imagery. AI data centers have also been accused of damaging water tables, harming local populations, and negatively impacting the environment. The trend highlights problematic uses of powerful AI technology.
