"Unlike the original Sora, Sora 2 isn't a mere video-generation platform; it's a social app with a TikTok-style feed of short AI-generated clips, and it allows you to authorize a cameo of yourself so friends can drop your likeness into their skitsand to revoke it later once you've seen too many videos of yourself fleeing police or crying on game shows."
"Sora 2 has remarkable interpretive powers. For instance, my short prompt asked for a woman who looks like Monroe riding a dragon while talking about how she would rather be a scientist than a dragon-riding, incestuous Targaryen. Though I offered no script, Sora 2 generated one that was surprisingly witty. Just as ChatGPT can generate entire screenplays in response to short, unspecific prompts, or follow long, detailed instructions, so too can the new Sora invent a complex scene on the basis of either."
OpenAI's Sora 2 functions as a social app with a TikTok-style feed that delivers short AI-generated video clips. The app allows users to authorize and later revoke cameos so friends can insert likenesses into skits. Sora 2 demonstrates strong interpretive abilities, generating witty, complex scripts from brief prompts. The system can reproduce recognizable likenesses, exemplified by a Monroe-as-Targaryen clip produced after the app's October 30 release. The platform invites widespread user-driven creation of AI-generated TV-style scenes while provoking critical backlash and ethical concerns about deepfakes and consent.
