OpenAI has launched its new TikTok-like social media app, Sora, in an invite-only early access period. Within 24 hours of its release, users have populated the platform with numerous deepfake videos, many prominently featuring a hyper-realistic, AI-generated version of CEO Sam Altman.<\/p>\n
The experience on the Sora app is immediately defined by its content. One of the first videos presented to users depicts a seemingly unending factory farm filled with pink pigs grunting in their pens. Each animal is equipped with a smartphone screen playing a feed of vertical videos. A digital likeness of Altman stares directly at the camera and asks, \u201cAre my piggies enjoying their slop?\u201d The scene is presented as a continuous and expansive view of the farm environment.<\/p>\n
On the app\u2019s \u201cFor You\u201d feed, the AI-generated Altman appears in numerous other scenarios. In one video, he is shown standing in a field with Pok\u00e9mon, including Pikachu, Bulbasaur, and a creature described as a \u201chalf-baked Growlithe.\u201d The Altman character looks at the viewer and says, \u201cI hope Nintendo doesn\u2019t sue us.\u201d Further user-generated clips show him serving drinks to Pikachu and the character Eric Cartman inside a Starbucks, screaming at a customer from behind a McDonald\u2019s counter, and stealing NVIDIA GPUs from a Target. The latter video concludes with him being apprehended by police and pleading for them not to confiscate the hardware.<\/p>\n
The creation of these videos is linked to users taking advantage of the app\u2019s reported content policy. Sora will allegedly require copyright holders to actively opt out of their content\u2019s use, a reversal of the typical model where creators must provide explicit consent. The legality of this approach is noted as debatable. The application displays guardrail warnings for certain prompts, such as, \u201cThis content may violate our guardrails concerning third-party likeness.\u201d In one clip, the AI Altman persona recites this warning verbatim before breaking into hysterical laughter.<\/p>\n
Sora\u2019s feed also contains other user-generated videos that combine various intellectual properties, including depictions of Pikachu doing ASMR, the character Naruto ordering Krabby Patties, and Mario smoking weed. The technology powering the application, referred to as Sora 2, is noted as being particularly impressive. This capability is contrasted with Meta\u2019s parallel attempt to create an AI-powered, TikTok-style social feed, an effort for which the source material indicates there is low public interest.<\/p>\n
