"Many of these videos feature recognizable characters like SpongeBob cooking meth, raising the obvious question of whether the AI company was flagrantly ignoring copyright law. And as tons of Sora-made videos parodying Altman hit the web, including some that fake CCTV footage showing him committing crimes, the implication that the tech could easily be used to fabricate damaging videos of people without their permission couldn't be ignored."
"Barely a day after Sora 2 launched, the journalist Taylor Lorenz said that a "psychotic stalker" was already using OpenAI's tool to make AI videos of her, while allegedly running hundreds of accounts dedicated to her. "It is scary to think what AI is doing to feed my stalker's delusions," Lorenz wrote in a tweet. "This is a man who has hired photographers to surveil me, shows up at events I am at, impersonates my friends and family members online to gather info.""
OpenAI's Sora 2 is a text-to-video app that enabled rapid generation of edgy, low-quality AI videos featuring copyrighted characters and fabricated footage. Users produced content including recognizable characters and fake CCTV clips implying criminal behavior. The app's Cameos feature synthesizes reusable characters from uploaded videos, enabling deepfakes of real people. Journalist Taylor Lorenz reported a stalker using Sora 2 to create videos of her while running many accounts and conducting offline surveillance and impersonation. The app allowed blocking and deletion of unapproved videos, but downloads and distribution remained possible. The rollout revealed risks of copyright infringement, harassment, defamation, and inadequate safeguards.
