"And while not everybody was willing to become the butt of the joke, like OpenAI CEO Sam Altman - whose visage quickly adorned AI-generated and unnerving CCTV footage of him shoplifting or his head popping out of a toilet - some internet personalities were willing to throw themselves at the mercy of meme lords everywhere. Influencer Jake Paul seemingly was one of them, and the results were as outlandish as you might expect."
"Paul took the clips in stride, initially putting on a grave voice and decrying that "this AI is getting out of hand," only to buy into the trend by acting camp in a response video posted to TikTok on Monday. But his girlfriend, Dutch professional speed skater Jutta Leerdam, wasn't impressed. "I don't like it, it's not funny!" she told him in a video. "People believe it.""
OpenAI launched Sora 2, a text-to-video generator app with a TikTok-like feed and a "cameos" feature that lets users drop verified likenesses into generated scenes. Cameos require a short one-time video-and-audio recording to verify identity and capture a user's appearance and voice. The feature has produced viral deepfakes of public figures, including unsettling clips of Sam Altman and outlandish memes involving Jake Paul. Some personalities embraced the trend while others, including Paul’s girlfriend Jutta Leerdam, criticized the content as misleading and harmful. The surge of photorealistic synthetic videos underscores growing concerns about blurred reality, misuse, and belief in fabricated media.
